Radiologic Technology Expenses
Expenses for which you are responsible include your own transportation to and from clinical sites, a criminal background check (Cori or equivalent), individual health insurance, the cost of an initial health physical, as well as documentation of the following required by our clinical sites (completed the summer before clinical starts): a two-step tuberculin skin test TST, a T spot will also be accepted for the 2 step PPD, varicella (chicken pox), Hepatitis B vaccination, annual influenza shot, other vaccinations as required by the CDC (ex. Covid-19), a current CPR card through the American Red Cross: "Basic Life Support for Healthcare Workers” or “CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers," or through the American Heart Association's BLS for Healthcare ("Heart Code BLS"), personalized radiographic lead markers, a clinical manual and proper clinical attire (uniforms). Some clinical sites may require or perform random drug testing. The Radiologic Technology program reserves the right to add drug screening as an annual fee. Failure and/or refusal for drug screening are grounds for immediate removal from the program.
Additional requirements may be required by specific sites.
Each student is required to arrange their own transportation for travel to clinical sites. Some sites are more than an hour from the college, and weather can vary throughout the year. Hospitals and clinics do not close for snow days. You should be prepared to travel in bad weather.
