2 - Students are required to maintain satisfactory certification in CPR, as required by the QEH, throughout their program. Certain second semester Radiography courses may continue until the summer months, with completion as late as August. Students are encouraged to consult with the School of Radiography. A passing grade will only be given when each component of multi-component courses, as identified by the instructors, has been completed successfully. The Program Coordinator may prohibit a student from attending a clinical session if there is reasonable evidence that the student's physical or psychological health may be detrimental to patients or patient care.
Any exceptions are by special permission of the Dean.
No Radiography course may be taken unless the student has first completed the Program Orientation , offered by the QEH after admission and prior to the beginning of the program. These courses provide students with a comprehensive review of skeletal anatomy, and with a review of the organ systems involved with the regulation, control and the continuity of the human organism. Cross-sectional anatomy is considered in the context of its use in Computer Axial Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. These courses provide students with the theory and practical skills necessary to produce diagnostic radiographs of all body parts with and without contrast media. This course places emphasis on the technical and interpersonal skills needed in meeting the physical and emotional needs of patients.
