Radiography clinical assignments

This program is comprised of five (5) continuous semesters of classroom/laboratory work and clinical education.  The combination of each of these never exceeds 40 hours per week, but does require a commitment every day of the week (M-F) and occasionally on weekends. Clinical education centers may be geographically dispersed and students are responsible for transportation to/from their assignments. Each student rotates through at least 6 different clinical education centers at some point in the program.
