The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics has been active in the education of radiologic Technologists since 1925. The successful completion of the program qualifies the student to sit for the national certification examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. The Radiologic Technology Program is an intensive program that strives to provide excellence in radiography education. The students will spend 40 hours each week in the hospital environment. Part of this time will be spent in classroom setting and laboratory instruction, and part will be in clinical instruction.
All students are full-time.
The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics offers a wide variety of clinical experiences for the student radiographer. They will also spend limited time in Diagnostic medical sonography, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Therapy, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Densitometry, EKG, and Cardiac Catheterization Lab. The clinical education portion is supervised by four full-time radiography educators in addition to the staff radiographers. The department performs more than 190,000 radiographic examinations and procedures each year. There are 60 imaging units that incorporate the newest technology available to better serve patients.
