How we Achieve our Vision

Currency in Didactic Instruction: When our teachers speak from experience, it is current. Most of them continue to practice in the field and are lecturing on their work experiences that occurred in the very recent past. Many faculty members serve on various statewide and national committees that determine the future of Radiologic Technology practice and hold multiple degrees and credentials.

Superior Laboratory Facilities: The Radiologic Sciences Department strives to maintain equipment that reflects what is currently used in the clinical setting. This ensures that students develop strong skills that accompany them into the medical environment.

Strong Clinical Affiliates: The Radiologic Technology Program is affiliated with many acute care hospitals in the Bar Area. Our affiliates are set in a dynamic urban environment, which provides experience with a diverse patient and professional population. This combination of excellence in didactic and clinical instruction opportunities ensures that the Radiologic Sciences Department will fulfill its vision, now and in the future.
