Where we stand on proficiency testing.

Because of the lack of comprehensive information in radiologic technology publications on the history, purpose and future implications of a process technologists hear talked about as "proficiency testing," and because of a lack of understanding of the role The American Society of Radiologic Technologists is playing in the project, the authors responded to a request by the editor to prepare this article. Since evaluation of the proficiency testing concept is still going on, this article is only a beginning and cannot be conclusive as to possible implementation, but it serves to provide substantial understanding through which the reader can evaluate future information.

A look at radiologic technology education.

Radiologic technology education has been progressing for the last 80 years; however, we have seemingly reached a plateau. Educators in the profession believe there is need for a change in direction due to demands of the manpower market and outside agencies. The direction radiologic technology educators should follow has been questioned, but no definite answer has resulted. With these thoughts in mind, a decision was made at the Duke University Medical Center to survey the nation and collect data to aid its particular problem, as well as to lend educational direction.

Role of a University Medical Center in the education of radiologic technologists: advanced education in radiologic technology.

The development of new and sophisticated imaging equipment, the rapidly changing medical diagnostic techniques, and larger and busier radiology departments put increasingly heavy demands on radiologic technologists. To cope with these demands, superficial knowledge and experience is not enough. The technologist who wished to advance on the career ladder must have more solid facts at his disposal and know how and when to use them if he is to perform efficiently and satisfactorily. The program described here provides a type of education that will permit the technologist to so advance with a feeling of security in the knowledge that he has the foundation needed to meet the challenges of his profession.
