Competency-Based Clinical Education Introduction

Competency-based clinical education has been established for students enrolled in the Radiologic Technology Program. It is designed to permit accurate assessment of the knowledge, skills, and abilities of the students in the clinical education component of the Program. Refer to www.arrt.org for competency requirements. After successful completion of the prerequisite didactic courses and clinical practice, the student’s clinical competency will be evaluated. These evaluations are completed only by the clinical instructors, faculty members, or any qualified practitioner on-site.

A student who does not perform satisfactorily in the first Clinical Competency Evaluation may be permitted two additional attempts. Failure to satisfactorily perform the third attempt at competency on a specific procedure/exam will result in a grade of “F” for the enrolled clinical course.
