Mission Statement The Mission of the Radiologic Technology Program at Ivy Tech Community College in Marion, Indiana, Region 6 is to give the student the essential tools and knowledge necessary for the graduate to deliver quality patient care and to produce diagnostic images of the highest quality for all patients while producing the lowest amount of radiation allowable. This education allows graduates to enter the profession with good communication skills and critical thinking.

Program GoalsWith faith in both the faculty and the Advisory Committee, we set forth the following goals for the Radiologic Technology Program:
1. To provide educational experiences designed to prepare students as an entry-level radiographer competent to perform competently while demonstrating quality patient care.
2. To provide graduates who possess a lifelong desire of education that can fulfill the needs of the health care community in an ethical manner.
3. To provide students with problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
4. To graduate students with effective communication skills.

Radiologic Technology The Radiologic Technologist is someone who specializes in using x-rays to create images of the body, and is known as a radiographer. The radiographs that are produced by the radiographer enable the doctor to diagnose the patient for disease, fractures, or any irregularities. Therefore, radiographer must be a professional who is skilled in the art and science of radiography and is able to apply scientific knowledge, problem-solving techniques, and use of high tech equipment, while providing quality patient care. Technologists are in demand in hospitals, clinics, physicians and dentists’ offices, federal and state agencies, industry, and certain education institutions.

This program includes a curriculum that includes patient care, radiographic technique, positioning, radiation exposure, radiation protection, physics, pathology, and ethics. (Complete list is in this packet). Clinical practice and supplemental instruction are provided in accredited sites. Upon completion of this program, graduates are eligible to take the American Registry Examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

The Radiologic Technology Program is a selective program with limited enrollment due to accreditation standards set by the JRCERT. Once accepted, it is a full-time program with the students rotating to the clinical sites and the didactic instruction at Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana.

For some health programs, you may not be eligible to be licensed or certified if you have been convicted of a felony. Please check with the Program Chair if you have questions concerning this before enrolling in the program or you may contact the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) @ www.arrt.org.
