NOTE: In the Bachelor’s degree in Nuclear Medicine Technology and Radiation Therapy Technology some evening courses are required.
Admission to and continuation in the Clinical Internship courses in NMT and RTT require an overall Cumulative index of 2.5 and an overall Major Academic course index of 2.5 (see list of Major Academic courses below).
A grade of C or better is required in the Major Academic courses (see list of Major Academic courses below) for admission or continuation in clinical internship courses. The student must repeat the course and earn a grade of C or better before entering or continuing in clinical internship courses.
A grade of C or better is required in the Clinical Internship courses (see list of Clinical Internship courses below) to continue in clinical internship courses. The student must earn a grade of C or better the next regular time that specific Clinical Internship course is offered before continuing in clinical internship courses.
If a grade of F is obtained in any Clinical Internship course, continuation in the clinical internship courses is not allowed.
Admission to the clinical internship courses in NMT and RTT is based upon the Faculty’s and Program Coordinator’s evaluation of the student’s attendance, punctuality, maturity, attitude, motivation, responsibility, interpersonal skills, attentiveness to detail, pleasantness and ability to perform the duties of a nuclear medicine or radiation therapy technologist.
Continuation in the clinical internship courses in NMT and RTT is based upon the successful completion of the Overall & Clinical Evaluations given the student by the Clinical Supervisor at the Clinical Affiliate and the ongoing evaluation by the Faculty and Program Coordinator of the student’s attendance, punctuality, maturity, attitude, motivation, responsibility, interpersonal skills, attentiveness to detail, pleasantness and ability to perform the duties of a nuclear medicine or radiation therapy technologist.
Due to the serious nature of the duties performed by the student in the clinical internship courses, the student is granted one opportunity at completing the clinical internship. If the student is removed from the clinical affiliate site by the clinical supervisor for valid reasons, the student will receive an F grade for that clinical internship course, the student will not be re-assigned to another clinical affiliate site and will not be eligible to enroll in clinical internship courses. Students may appeal this decision to the Program Coordinator.
(The NMT major academic courses include RHS 205, 275, 301, 315, 317, 320, 326, 331, 332, 442, 460; BIOL 207/208, PHED 209) (The RTT major academic courses include RHS 205, 275, 276, 315, 317, 320, 326, 355, 356, 357, 358, 440; BIOL 207/208; PHED 209). (The NMT clinical internship courses include RHS 340, 341, 450, 451). (The RTT clinical internship courses include RHS 280, 360, 361, 362, 435, 436).
The written examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and/or the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board for certification or registration as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist will be taken upon completion of all the requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Radiological and Health Sciences (Nuclear Medicine Technology).
The written examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists for registration as a Radiation Therapy Technologist will be taken upon completion of all the requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Radiological and Health Sciences (Radiation Therapy Technology).
Approval for these examinations will be granted only after the student has met all responsibilities for successful completion of the program.
NMT and RTT students who are taking 4 credits of internship (5-days-a-week of internship) in the Fall or Spring semesters are limited to taking a maximum of 12 credits in that semester.
