NO REPEAT RADIOGRAPHS ARE TO BE MADE BY RADIOGRAPHY STUDENTS EXCEPT IN THE PRESENCE OF A QUALIFIED PRACTITIONER
Any student attempting or performing a repeat radiograph on a patient without the presence of a qualified radiographer may risk violating the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist's Code of Ethics section VII, stating, "The radiologic technologist uses equipment and accessories, employs techniques and procedures, performs services in accordance with an accepted standard of practice, and demonstrates expertise in minimizing radiation exposure to the patient, self, and other members of the health care team." Additional violations of the ARRT Rules of Ethics may also be applicable. For additional information, visit either www.aart.org or www.asrt.org. All students are required to follow these principles during their tenure in the program, and are encouraged to utilize these standards throughout their professional career.
Students violating the REPEAT policy will:
- 1st Offense: Clinical Probation (6 weeks) for failure to comply with clinical policy.
- 2nd Offense: Dismissal from the Radiologic Technology Program.
This policy exists for all levels of clinical education training while in the Wallace College Radiology Technology Program.
