Radiologic Technology
Wor-Wic's radiologic technology program is nationally accredited by
the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology.
This associate of applied science degree program is designed to prepare
graduates for jobs as radiologic technologists. Radiologic technologists
use radiation to provide detailed images of the tissues, organs,
bones and vessels of the human body, producing quality diagnostic
examinations while providing essential patient care services.
Radiologic technologists are employed in hospitals, clinics, private
offices, industry, civil service, public health facilities and educational
institutions. They can pursue careers in computed tomography, angiography,
ultrasonography, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy,
magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, cardiac catheterization,
management or education.
Students enrolled in this program obtain clinical experiences at the
Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, as well as at Atlantic
General Hospital in Berlin and E.W. McCready Memorial Hospital in
Crisfield. Individuals who successfully complete the program can
take a certification and licensure examination in radiography
administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists
(ARRT). State certification as a medical radiation technologist is
required for employment in Maryland.
Wor-Wic also offers an opportunity for a hospital-trained registered
radiologic technologist to obtain an associate of applied science
degree by successfully completing 33 credit hours of course work and
a simulated ARRT examination.
Due to the limited number of spaces available in this program, selection
is on a competitive basis. Interested individuals must follow the
procedures in the
Radiologic Technology Admission Information packet
,
which is available in the admissions office. In order to be considered
for admission into the program that begins in the summer, prospective
students must complete the admission requirements by the first Friday
in May.
In order to graduate with an associate of applied science degree, students
must obtain a grade of "C" or better in all radiologic technology,
biology and mathematics courses. Students must also meet all clinical
objectives and maintain current cardiopulmonary resuscitation
certification while enrolled in the program.
