About the Programs

Becoming a radiographer requires the acquisition of finely honed skills and carefully cultivated dispositions. These include the technical skills to manage the latest technology, the expert judgement to make wise choices in difficult situation and the resilience to cope with uncomfortable social interactions, such as dealing with a "noncompliant patient, impatient physician or supervisor, nonprofessional staff member or an intensely emotional situation that deals with sadness, grief, anger, guilt, frustration, fear, anxiety, embarrassment, tenderness and joy." (Fortsch, P, Henning, JE, & Nielsen, LE. Connecting Classroom to Clinical Practice: a Comparison of Programs. Radiologic Technology, 2009;81:112 - 121)
