Description
Labette Community
College offers a 23 month program in Radiography leading to an
Associate Degree in Applied Science. The program is monitored
through accreditation by Joint Review Committee on Education in
Radiologic Technology. The standards for educational programs are
stated in a document entitled "Standards for an Accredited
Educational Program in Radiologic Sciences."
The purpose of the
program is to prepare men and women to become qualified
radiographers (x-ray technologists) and to meet the health care
needs of Southeast Kansas and the surrounding areas.
The curriculum is
designed to assure quality patient care, to meet the needs of an
ever changing technical health care field, and to develop
professional responsibility. The academic curriculum and clinical
experience are both integral parts of the student's training. Area
hospitals serve as clinical education settings for the program.
Students must furnish their own transportation to the clinical
education settings. Every effort will be made to place the student
in clinical education setting close to his/her home.
Upon satisfactory
completion of course work, students will be recommended to take
the National Radiographer Examination administered by the American
Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
