A.R.R.T exam. Minimum passing score is 75%.

Accreditation of an educational program provides students, as graduates, assurance that the program will provide them with the

requisite knowledge, skills, and values to competently perform the range of professional responsibilities expected by potential

employers nationwide. It also assures they will be eligible for licensure in each of the 50 states. By requiring programs to teach

the entire curriculum developed by the national professional organization, the American Society of Radiologic Technology, it

also assures students they will have the foundation knowledge to continue to develop as professionals in the various fields of the

radiation sciences.

Accreditation of educational programs assures patients that students who perform procedures have appropriate supervision

during the educational process. It also assures them that graduates will have met the minimum level of competency as defined

nationally by the profession.

The program complies with requirements to achieve and maintain JRCERT recognition of all clinical education settings.

Textbooks

Prior to the start of classes each year the faculty reviews and selects textbooks that meet the needs of the courses they teach. In some cases, textbooks may change from one year to the next, or a given book may be released in a new edition.

It is the responsibility of the student to purchase all assigned books. The required textbooks for the full program costs approximately $500.00. At the present time, the State of Georgia reimburses textbook expenses in the amount of $100.00 per semester; therefore, students who remain in the program will, over time, recover their initial outlay.

Students may choose, at their own option, to purchase other reference books to assist them in their studies. Questions concerning the potential value of any reference should be referred to the Program Director.

Attendance

Students are expected to be punctual and attend all classes for which they are registered. Each student should recognize at the beginning of his or her postsecondary career that a mature acceptance of his or her responsibilities is a requisite for reasonable accomplishment in postsecondary work: this applies particularly in the area of class attendance. Instructors will keep an accurate record of class attendance. Students anticipating an absence or tardiness should contact the instructor in advance or provide notification as soon as possible. It is the responsibility of the student to account for missed instructional time and to arrange for make-up work at the convenience of the instructor.

Failure to maintain contact with the instructor - either by attending classes, submitting assignments, and/or contacting the instructor (either in person, or by telephone, or email) may result in a failing grade(s).

Some programs and courses at MTC may have more demanding attendance requirements due to the nature of the course or program. These requirements are stated in an approved program handbook, course syllabus, or contract executed with the student.

Class attendance is calculated from the first officially scheduled class meeting to the last scheduled meeting.

A student who has combined absences and tardies greater than 10% of the scheduled class time for which the student is registered may be subject to any or all of the following consequences at any time during the semester:

Suspension from a class or program;

Dismissal from a class or program;

Ineligibility to enroll the following semester.

See the Moultrie Technical College Student Handbook for more information regarding attendance.

Withdrawal

If a student decides to withdraw from the class, he/she must complete the necessary paperwork before an official withdrawal can occur. It is imperative that the student contact the instructor upon deciding to withdraw. Any student withdrawing before midterm will receive a grade of “W.” If a course is dropped for any reason after midterm, the student will receive a grade of “WF” (Withdraw Failing). “WF” has zero quality points and will be calculated in the grade point average (GPA). “WP” (Withdraw Passing) is considered only as a result to extenuating circumstances and if academic performance is passing.

Academic Integrity

Cheating and plagiarism are unacceptable.

Cheating includes any attempt to defraud, deceive, or mislead an instructor in arriving at an honest grade assessment.

Plagiarism is a form of cheating that involves presenting the ideas of another as your original ideas.

53 Revised 2012

Any student, acting individually or in concert with others, who violates any part of the student conduct code, shall be subject to disciplinary procedures including dismissal from a class session by the instructor and/or suspension or expulsion by the authorized administrator. See the Moultrie Technical College Student Handbook for more information regarding the student code of conduct.

Quality of Student Work

Use of proper grammar, correct spelling, and writing principles are expected in all work. Full credit will not be granted for work that contains grammar or spelling errors.

Evaluation

The following grading scale will be utilized in the determination of the student’s course grade.

Percentage of Points Earned Corresponding Letter Grade

90 – 100 A

80 – 89 B

70 – 79 C

60 – 69 D

0 – 59 F

The student’s knowledge of the material presented in this course will be evaluated based on the satisfactory completion of all assigned work. The student will also be examined on his/her knowledge of the objectives outlined in each lesson, as presented in the Projected Learning Schedule.

Academic Assistance/Remediation

Students who are progressing at an unsatisfactory level and in jeopardy of failing the course must make an appointment with the course instructor to determine the need for remediation. Together, the instructor and student will review the information and determine appropriate steps for remediation. After completion of the remedial assignments, the student may be re-evaluated on the material.

References

The instructor will provide additional resource material as may be necessary. For online courses, this material will be emailed to students and posted on the online course site in the Discussion Board section.

Work Ethics

A portion of the curriculum of all courses is devoted to the development of positive work ethics among students. The work ethics program is designed to encourage good work habits in the areas of quality of work, ability to follow instructions, productivity, dependability, honesty, reliability, attendance and punctuality, attitude, integrity, enthusiasm, interpersonal skills, and initiative.

54 Revised 2012

Work Ethics Evaluation

On-site students will receive a formal report at mid-term and at the end of the semester. The mid-term report is a progress report, but the end-of-semester report constitutes the final grade. The semester work ethics grade will not affect the academic grade. Points are assigned to evaluate each of the ten work ethics traits as follows:

Exceeds Expectations 3 points

Meets Expectations 2 points

Needs Improvement 1 point

Unacceptable 0 points

Safety

Students should become familiar with the program’s emergency procedures in order to maintain a safe learning environment. Emergency procedures such as severe and hazardous weather are addressed in the Moultrie Technical College Student Handbook. Evacuation routes for fire and other emergency situations are posted in each classroom and lab. Emergency procedures are discussed at the beginning of each semester. Evacuation charts are posted in each classroom and lab. Students are to review these charts as they enter each room. If a situation were to occur, requiring evacuation, students are to follow the route marked on the chart. If a bad weather warning is sounded, students are to follow the proper evaluation procedures and take all valuables with them.

MTC Alert – Emergency and Announcement Notification System

Moultrie Technical College offers a free emergency and important school announcement service to all students. MTC Alert is a mass notification system comprised of e-mail, voice, and text messaging that is designed to send emergency messages rapidly for the safety and benefit of the students. Messages will be sent by authorized MTC employee(s) via a system provided by High Ground Solutions/SchoolCast.

Upon a student’s admittance into Moultrie Technical College, his/her contact information will be automatically entered into the system. Participation is not optional. However, students will have the opportunity to update their information each semester through the MTC Student Affairs Office. Students should be aware that possible charges may be incurred from their wireless device carriers for text messages received from the MTC Alert System.

CLINICAL PLAN

Introduction to Clinical Setting

The clinical learning experience is the cornerstone of education in Radiologic Technology. The clinical setting is where a student truly develops the skills and abilities of a competent radiographer. The clinical facility also provides the "classroom" to nurture the sense of professional responsibility so essential in all those who enter careers in healthcare. The Radiologic Technology Program operates on a competency-based principle. All clinical experiences are geared to achieve a goal of entry-level practitioner. The evaluation criteria used throughout the clinical learning experience are designed to measure progress toward this goal.

The responsibilities involved in performing optimal diagnostic radiography and delivering quality patient care necessitate strict adherence to policies and procedures governing clinical performance and evaluation. Part II of this Handbook is intended to provide students with clear, concise information regarding Moultrie Technical College's program for clinical education, its standards, requirements and guidelines.


334 Revised 2012

PreClinical Requirements

Clinical Orientations

Radiology Students must complete the orientation packet for each clinical site. Students must meet the requirements of all clinical sites in order to attend clinical. Students who fail to meet the requirements of all clinical sites will not be allowed to complete their externship.

Pre Clinical Fees and Requirements Once the student has been accepted into the Radiology Technology Program he/she will be required to obtain: Submit Criminal Background check , Alcohol and Drug Screen Test to Debbie Craft, Director of Allied Health Service, prior to being admitted to any clinical site. Failure to do so will result in withdrawal of the student from the program. Submit a Physical Examination medical report to Clinical Coordinator. (estimated fees) $40 Drug Screen (10panel+1) - $25 Urine Alcohol (collected at same time as drug screen) - (I separated these in case there happens to be a class who doesn't require the alcohol portion) $14 CBC - $13 RPR - $60 Hepatitis B shot (3 in series) - per shot $40 Physical (includes urinalysis) - $10 PPD (not scheduled on Thursdays since the result would have to be read over the weekend) $47 Tdap (Tetanus with pertussis) - $20 Influenza - $17 Hepatitis B Titer - $24 Vericella only titer - $65 Vericella, Rubella, Rubeola Titer – A copy of Immunization Record. CPR Certification Have a film badge. (Film badge will be order by Clinical Coordinator, once student has been accepted into the program) Obtain Right and Left lead marker with student’s initials. $20.00 estimated cost Purchase selected uniform for this program. The prescribed uniform must be ordered from the Healthware Uniform Shop 2201 US Highway 41 N, Tifton, Georgia 31794. The contact information is (229) 382-5666 in at least 4 weeks prior to the first clinical rotation. It is recommended that all students purchase:

Three sets of uniforms for clinical, (3 White pants, 3 Caribbean Blue tops) 3 white socks and a white lab coat. Three Sets of uniforms for class, (2 Caribbean Blue pants, 2 Caribbean Blue tops)


335 Revised 2012

Uniform Prices Per item: Shirt $14.00 Cargo Pants $19.00 Lab Coat $17.00 Shoes $34.00 Clinical Rotations

At the present time, four hospitals have been contracted to serve as major clinical education sites for the Radiologic Technology Program. These are Brooks County Hospital, Quitman, GA Colquitt Regional Medical Center in Moultrie, Tallahassee Memorial Regional Medical Center in Tallahassee, FLA., Tift Regional Medical Center, Tifton, Ga. West Campus, Tifton, GA (All students must expect to spend some time at each of these facilities. Transportation to and from the clinical site is the responsibility of the student.

The clinical component of the program consists of approximately 1850 hours divided by 5 semesters. Students will be assigned to each clinical site for not less than a total of two semesters at some time during the two-year curriculum. The schedule of assignments is at the discretion of the program director.

Senior students are also required to participate in weekend and evening clinical rotations beginning the fall semester of the second year of clinical. The health professions are 24-hour, 7 day a week careers. Exposure to such "real life" settings promotes the growth of independence, improves decision-making capabilities and expands student skills in more emergent situations.

Evaluation Requirements


336 Revised 2012

BiWeekly Evaluation Clinical performance is determined by evaluation. The student's use and care of equipment, application of

knowledge, progress, quality of work, ability in following directions, technique, positioning, industry and energy, attendance, attitudes and cooperation, appearance, reaction to criticism, self image, interest in clinical, education, tact and courtesy, and patient care influence the evaluation. The evaluation is measured on a scale of 6 - 3 point scale in each performance category. A minimum of 70 points must be earned on each evaluation. A point score of less than 70 indicates inadequate performance in that clinical rotation. If the student's overall average for all evaluations at mid-term is below 70 points, he or she will be placed on probation until the end of the semester. The instructor(s) will discuss areas of needed improvement with the student. If, at the end of the semester, the student's point score average remains below 70, the clinical performance will be deemed unsatisfactory. Successful completion of each clinical course is a prerequisite to admission to the next clinical course, therefore failure, will result in dismissal from the program. A minimum of four Bi–Weekly evaluations must be obtained at the end of each quarter. Failure to obtain the four Bi-Weekly will result in the reduction of clinical grade.

TriWeekly Evaluation Performance skills are evaluated at the conclusion of each three-week clinical room assignment,

according to the following criteria established for each task. Note that in order for performance of standard to be elevated at the next level; all the positive aspects of the previous level should also be attained. Bear in mind that the practice of radiography follows a progressive process of skill development and students in the earlier rotations should not be expected to have achieved advanced technical abilities. A minimum of four Tri – Weekly evaluation are must be turned in at the end of each semester. Failure to obtain the four Tri-Weekly will result in the reduction of clinical grade. See attached evaluations for each clinical area.

Students have the right to know exactly what criteria are used to assess performance, and they have the obligation to familiarize themselves with these criteria. Clinical Performance Skills are established and measured for each rotation according to the following criteria:

Clinical Performance Skills Performance skills are evaluated at the conclusion of each two-week clinical room assignment according

Clinical Competencies Requirements All students must complete the following required competencies. Completion of optional competencies at some

point during the two-year curriculum is highly desirable, but the program recognizes that not all clinical

education centers routinely perform all standard radiographic procedures (with the widespread use of

ultrasound, for example, the Colcher-Sussman Pelvimetry has become extremely rare). The semesters are listed

as a guide. It is recommended that students attempt to complete the appropriate competencies in the semester

listed. In any case, all students MUST complete, at a minimum, the specified number of competencies during a

given semester.

Competencies per semester requirements are:

8 1st Semester 10 4th Semester

10 2nd Semester 10 5th Semester

10 3rd Semester Total Total 33 Mandatory/ 15 Electives

48 completed competencies

1. General Patient Care

Requirement: Candidates must demonstrate competence in all six patient care activities listed

below. The activities should be performed on patients; however, simulation is acceptable (see

endnote) if state or institutional regulations prohibit candidates from performing the procedures on

patients.


338 Revised 2012

Please note that whenever possible, Clinical Competency Evaluations must be performed using those projections specified in Competency Based Clinical Evaluation System for Radiographers. Procedures above that are identified by an asterisk are not included in the lab manual and must be evaluated using those forms (see Appendix II) available at each clinical education center. In these cases, acceptable projections are those that are routinely requested at that particular site. Remember, ONLY approved staff members at each facility may conduct evaluations.

Competency Instruction Demonstration of proficiency is accomplished through a Clinical Competency Based Evaluation System*

consisting of instruction, observation, participation, performance and evaluation. The two-part program of

clinical instruction is outlined below. Harvey, A., & Geisler, L. (1981). Competency-based clinical evaluation

system for radiographers. Mankato, MN: Burnell

Part I

Didactic/Laboratory Instruction

1. Instruction: Didactic instruction in the classroom provides the student with initial exposure to the

correct positioning of an anatomic part.

2. Observation During laboratory instruction the student will observe the correct positioning of the

assigned part performed by the instructor.

3. Participation The student performs the procedure using facsimile and/or phantom body parts

4. Evaluation: The instructor critiques student performance


339 Revised 2012

5. Indirect Supervision After successful completion of a clinical competence, the student may perform the

competencies under indirect supervision. Indirect supervision is defined as: The technologist is

READILY AVAILABLE AND IN SHOUTING-DISTANCE, but not necessarily in the radiographic

room at the time of the examination.

Part II

Clinical Instruction

1. Observation: The student will observe a registered technologist performing the procedure two to three

times*

2. Participation The student performs the procedure with the assistance of a registered technologist two to

three times*.

3. Performance The student performs the procedure under the supervision of a registered technologist two

to three times* DIRECT SUPERVISION that the registered Technologist in present in the location that

the procedure is performed.

4. Evaluation: The student, satisfied of his or her level of proficiency in the performance of the procedure,

requests a final competency evaluation from the clinical instructor, program director or approved staff

member.

The succession of clinical competency proficiency demonstration and evaluation is outlined as follows:

Classroom Instruction

Laboratory Instruction

Assisted Clinical Performance FAIL

Direct Clinical Supervision

Clinical Competency Evaluation FAIL

Indirect Clinical Supervision

* NOTE: Due to the infrequency with which some procedures are requested, it is understood that it may not always be possible to precisely follow this outline; however, students may not attempt a procedure for which they have not established competency without direct staff supervision.

Clinical competencies for each radiographic position must be completed by a specific date. Completion of at least 48 competencies (33 mandatory and 15electives) is a graduation requirement.


340 Revised 2012

CLINICAL COMPETENCY EVALUATION The clinical education provided by affiliating institutions furnishes the student with the opportunity to

correlate classroom instruction with actual clinical situations. Creative teaching techniques such as team teaching, conferences, simulation, modeling, demonstrations, journals and peer teaching are incorporated into the clinical laboratory instruction sessions. Demonstration of competence includes requisition evaluation, patient assessment, room preparation, patient management, equipment operation, technique selection, positioning skills, radiation safety, image processing, and image evaluation. Students performing a competency must be proficient in each of the areas below.

At the end of the 5 semester program, the student will have demonstrated proficiency in:

Requisition Evaluation

Patient Assessment

Room Preparation

Patient Management

Equipment Operation

Technique Selection

Positioning Skills

Radiation Safety

Image Processing

Image Evaluation

Competency Grading

A score of 85% is required to PASS a Clinical Competency Evaluation. Once a clinical competency has been met, the student may perform that radiographic examination under the indirect supervision of a registered technologist. All repeat examinations must be performed on in the presence of a registered technologist. The maximum score on a competency is 100 pints (180 points). Students will receive .06 points off for incorrect performance as outlined in competency form.

Student scored 170 total points out of 180.

341 Revised 2012

CHALLENGE COMPETENCIES

Once a student has successfully passed a competency evaluation for a given procedure, it is assumed that he or she can perform the procedure safely and accurately under most conditions. A Challenge Competency takes place when the clinical instructor or program director requests the student to perform the procedure again without advance notice. The Supplemental Clinical Competency Form is used and the student must achieve a core of not less than 85% in order to pass the Challenge Competency. Should the student fail to meet this standard, he or she will no longer be credited with passing that procedure and must perform it again under the regular Competency Evaluation guidelines.

Competencies Remediation Students must return to the laboratory for remediation after three attempts on any competency area. Students must document each attempt on the competency evaluation form. Each competency form has a score areas designated for three repeat attempts. Once student has performed a simulated competency in the laboratory Clinical Coordinator, the student may attempt the competency in the clinical setting.

Competency Evaluator

A Student Radiographer Competency evaluation must be prepared and observed by a Radiographer that meets the following characteristics:

1. Registered Technologist with two year work experience 2. Clinical Instructor

GRADING SYSTEM

Grades are available on Banweb at the end of each semester. The rating scale and grade point value as follows:

GRADE POINT VALUE

• A = 90 - 100 Excellent 4 • B = 80 - 89 Good 3 • C = 70 - 79 Average 2 • D = 60 - 69 Poor 1 • F = 0 - 59 Failing 0 • I = Incomplete • W = Withdraw Not computed in GPA • WP = Withdraw Passing Not computed in GPA • WF = Withdraw Failing Computed in GPA as an “F” • EX = Credit by Exam Not computed in GPA • TR = Transfer Credit Not computed in GPA

I: This indicates that a student has completed a substantial portion of the coursework; but for nonacademic reasons beyond the student’s control, has not completed the coursework required. An “I” not satisfactorily removed by the 10th day of the following semester will be changed to an “F.”


343 Revised 2012

IP: A grade of “IP” is assigned for work to be completed in the next semester where the student is in an individual instructional setting. The course must be completed during the next semester unless otherwise approved by the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. If the grade of “IP” is not removed by the end of the semester and the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs does

not approve an extension, a grade of “F” will be assigned.

EX: This indicates that a student has exempted a course with MTC. Credit is given but no grade points are calculated.

TR: This indicates that a student has been given credit for coursework from another accredited postsecondary institution which is the same or equivalent to coursework required in this college. Coursework to be considered for transfer credit must have a grade of “C” or better. Credit will be granted but no grade points will be calculated.

W: This indicates that a student attended past the third day of the semester but has withdrawn within the first five weeks of a semester. No credit is given and no grade points will be calculated.

WP: A “WP” is assigned when the student has formally withdrawn after the first five weeks of a semester with a passing grade. “WP” is not used in GPA calculations, but is used in hours attempted for financial aid academic progress.

WF: A “WF” is assigned when the student has formally withdrawn after the first five weeks of a semester and had an average of “F” or is making unsatisfactory progress as defined by approved departmental policy at the time of withdrawal. “WF” is used in GPA calculations, earns no credit hours, and carries 0 grade points for each credit hour attempted.

AU: Audit/Warranty Claim is agreed upon between the student and the instructor prior to registration into that class. An “audit” carries no credit. Course requirements for audited classes are agreed upon by the student and instructor prior to registration.

Work Ethics Grades

Additionally, Work Ethics grades will be assigned on the MTC 3-point system.

3 points Exceeds Expectations

2 points Meets Expectations

1 point Needs Improvement

0 points Unacceptable
