Students are taught computer and radiology imaging basics, PACS interface and system analysis, project management and quality control, Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) and Health Level 7 (HL7) messaging systems, and electronic health records (EHR), in addition to basic human biology. Students gain oral and written communication skills to aid them in working in the informatics team and healthcare environments. Students are able to design and implement a PACS Plan for an imaging department within a health care facility. Graduates are prepared to take all three levels of certification exams through the PACS Administrators Registry and Certification Association (PARCA). Additionally, graduates with a minimum of two years previous experience in healthcare imaging or imaging informatics, meet the educational and continuing education requirements for taking the American Board of Imaging Informatics Certification (ABII). Students are required to complete 40-hours of shadowing in an approved medical imaging department. Facilities may require students to complete a physical examination, a drug and alcohol screening, a Child Abuse History Clearance, the Federal Criminal Record Check and/or the State Police Criminal Record Check prior to the shadowing experience and/or employment.\\r\n \n The Radiology Informatics AAS program prepares students to enter the field of medical imaging informatics as Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) Administrators and Radiology Informatics Professionals.
