MRI 260 - Pre-Clinical Preparation
Description
This course prepares the MRI student for safe participation in clinical education within the MRI environment. Students will explore and discuss the importance of MRI safety and patient assessment. The ability to critically think will be emphasized as students investigate various patient-related considerations requiring adaptation to successfully execute the MRI procedure. Basic pharmacology as it relates to the MRI patient will be explored and discussed, as will infection control practices and procedures. Students will be introduced to MRI equipment, quality control, and MRI procedures. While most of the course is delivered online, students will practice and master various safety procedures in a face-to-face workshop setting.
