The
Field of Radiologic Technology is a challenging and rewarding
field that demands competent and compassionate radiographers. A Radiologic
Technologist or Radiographer uses ionizing radiation to image various
parts of the body for interpretation by a Radiologist. There are several
ways in which to become a certified Radiologic Technologist. These
include a 2-year hospital-based program offered at St. Francis Medical
Center, 2-year Associates degree programs and 4-year Baccalaureate
programs. If you are interested in a rewarding field that requires
a highly motivated individual who is knowledgeable in Radiographic
Procedures, Equipment Operation and Maintenance, Image Production
and Evaluation, Radiation Protection and Biology and Patient Care,
then a career in the Radiologic Sciences may be for you.
The St. Francis Medical Center School
of Radiologic Technology was established in 1948 and accredited in
1950 by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology.
The Program consists of a two-year full-time course beginning the
