The College supports excellence in teaching and learning, makes data-informed decisions, promotes equity, and advances positive change for the students, communities, and industries it serves. \nThe campuses of CT State offer more than 200 degree and certificate programs that lead to hundreds of careers. Whether you enter directly into the workforce upon graduation, or transfer to earn a bachelor's degree, your coursework at CT State will prepare you for success. The mission of the Connecticut State Community College Radiography program is to provide a comprehensive radiography program that will graduate competent, entry-level radiologic technologists for the healthcare community.\r\nRadiography or \"x-ray\" uses very small doses of ionizing radiation to produce images of internal structures of the body for the diagnosis of disease or injury. Radiographers are technologists who operate imaging equipment to produce quality images of the body for a Radiologist or other ordering provider to interpret. The associate degree program in Radiography prepares students for employment as entry level radiographers in hospitals, outpatient facilities, medical offices, community health agencies, or nondestructive testing industries where radiation is used for quality control. The structure of the curriculum is sequential and includes appropriate didactic content and ample supervised clinical education to assure sufficient opportunity to achieve all didactic and clinical requirements. Each campus will have some degree of differentiation in course offerings and sequencing based on clinical capacity, student enrollment and Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) approval.\r\n\r\nStudents are assigned to clinical practice at various medical facilities throughout the state of Connecticut. Upon completion of the program, graduates are eligible to take the national certifying examination in radiography as administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in Radiography.\r\nIn addition to the College's general education core curriculum, the Connecticut State Community College Radiography program has a set of common program courses. Additionally, each campus may have its own set of differentiated options that must be taken to be eligible for graduation. Differentiated options are courses that meet the needs of the individual campus for a variety of reasons including but not limited to clinical site requirements, clinical site capacity, campus course offerings, and clinical competency requirements. Because each campus is required to maintain an individual accreditation from the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT), they may require differentiated options, and may have differentiated course sequencing, students cannot transfer from one campus program to another campus.The Radiography program is a competency-based program. The credits associated with each clinical practice course are not a direct reflection of contact hours. One credit of clinical practice is equal to 120 hours of clinical practice.\r\nStudents who wish to transfer to an approved four-year program in radiography to achieve advanced level certification in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or other disciplines, or programs for health care management should consult their campus' Radiography Program Coordinator regarding established transfer articulation agreements.\r\nThe Radiography Program is accredited through the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT), 20 North Wacker Drive, Suite 2850, Chicago, IL 60606-3182, Phone: (312) 704-5300, Fax: (312) 704-5304, Website: https://www.jrcert.org/, Email: mail@jcert.org, Program Website: https://gatewayct.edu/Radiography "},"ceterms:recognizedBy":["https://credentialengineregistry.org/resources/ce-b292f406-b76c-4b0d-8eb0-789488e8f80c"],"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://ctstate.edu/academics/nursing-health","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:learningDeliveryType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/Delivery","ceterms:targetNode":"deliveryType:BlendedDelivery","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Delivery Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Blended Delivery"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Delivery includes significant levels of both in person and online."}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/Delivery","ceterms:targetNode":"deliveryType:InPerson","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Delivery Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"In-Person Only"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Delivery is only face-to-face."}}]}
