Any second year Radiography student that accumulates five or more images that are not correctly marked will be suspended from the Clinical Education for a minimum of one (8 hr) day.
Any Clinical Education time missed due to suspension will be made up by the student on weekends, holidays, or before the end of current term. Make-up time will be arranged by the Clinical Coordinator. These suspensions will be treated as an unexcused absence.
Radiographs not properly marked are defined as:
- Radiographs which the Radiography student presents to quality control and contains no lead marker visible on the image(s). Also images which have the lead marker representing the wrong anatomical side of the body. This also includes lead markers that were annotated on digital imaging systems.
The accumulation count will be conducted by Technologists, Clinical Instructors, Radiologists and Program Faculty. The accumulation count will be recorded in the student’s Clinical Education Record Book.
