Description: This is the final of three clinical courses allowing the student an opportunity to observe, practice, and master procedures in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) department of affiliating hospitals, clinics, or other MRI provider facilities while under the direct supervision of a technologist and/or physician. This course focuses on the completion of all remaining competencies required by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) following the Primary Pathway requirements. Upon completion of all required competencies, efforts will be made to enrich the student’s clinical education experience by arranging for participation in non-routine advanced procedures and protocols or in MRI clinically relevant special projects. These clinical assignments will be determined and arranged by the Educational Coordinator in collaboration with the Clinical Education Provider based on availability and clinical relevance. Emphasis will be placed on patient safety and comfort. Mastery of the professional values, attitudes, and behaviors necessary in the healthcare environment are expected. An online component will accompany the hands-on clinical practices aspect of the course to further advance learning within a learning community.
