CLP 1 Practicum description:

This first clinical practicum will introduce the radiography student to the day-to-day operations of clinical practice in a radiology department. CLP 1 provides the student with opportunities to apply those theories learned in RAD 101 and RAD 104 in the areas of departmental procedures, routines, and radiography of the chest, abdomen, and upper extremities. Students will rotate through various clinical sites and areas under the direct supervision of a qualified registered technologist. Latter portions of this practicum will allow the students to begin documenting and testing on studies that have been presented in RAD 101 and RAD 104, once the clinical laboratory and classroom testing has been completed. This practicum provides the student with mastery skills in learning how to function in an imaging department. Students will participate in clinical learning 2 days per week.
