Radiologic Technology (A.A.S.)
Radiologic Technology (A.A.S.) - The Radiologic Technology program is a two-year (i.e., four semesters and three
summer sessions) program leading to the Associate in Applied Science degree. This
is a day only program starting each Fall semester. The curriculum combines liberal
arts studies and technical courses with clinical education at affiliated hospitals
in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The Radiologic Technology student is trained to work
under the supervision of a physician in the diagnostic applications of x-rays. Responsibilities
of the Radiologic Technologist include; positioning of patients, handling of complex
equipment, and utilizing radiation protection devices. In addition to these technical
skills, the technologist's duties require him/her to attend to the physical and emotional
needs of patients who are often acutely ill or seriously injured. The program is accredited
under the Nassau Community College accreditation granted by The Middle States Association
of Colleges and Schools, and by the New York State Department of Health. Graduates
are eligible to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists examination
to become a Registered Radiologic Technologist and to obtain New York State Licensure.
Opportunities for professional advancement and continuing education at the B.S. degree
level are available.
The program maintains two fully functional radiologic suites. These radiology rooms
are designs to give the radiology student a comprehensive training in all aspects
of radiology imaging. Both radiology suites are equipped with the latest imaging modalities;
DR imaging, CR imaging, and film imaging.
To be eligible for admission to the Radiologic Technology Program, candidates must
meet academic requirements, must be legally eligible for employment and licensure
in the United States at the time of application, and must be of "good moral character"
as defined by the New York State Department of Health applicable to the profession
of Radiologic Technology.
