CRS 1101 Clinical Radiation Science I
This course is a clinical education course designed to develop and support material taught in RAD 1101, MED 1101, PRO 1101, and RSC 1101. This course contains a multiple day "Clinical Orientation" in which students are taught basic skills to allow entry into the clinical environment. This orientation includes, but is not limited to: Radiation Safety, Hospital Codes, Standard Precautions, Patient Communication/ History Taking, Infection Control, and Patient Transfers/ Body Mechanics. Students then progress on to actual clinical training in which they begin to develop technical skills, interpersonal skills, critical thinking skills, and communication skills required to be an entry level technologist. Students participate in performing radiographic examinations in hospitals, imaging centers, urgent care centers, and freestanding emergency centers under the supervision of Registered Technologists and Clinical Preceptors. Testing for this course includes verbal and practical testing.
