Maintaining standards of excellence in radiologic technology admissions: directions for future research on selection predictors.

The continuing decline in the number of applicants to radiologic technology educational programs is beginning to stress the traditional standards of excellence in admissions. To maintain standards, it is imperative that reliable predictors are developed to assess the full potential for success of all individuals in the restricted applicant pool. This article reviews the research done with noncognitive measures, identifies those that increase predictive efficiency, and proposes directions for future research in this area.

Professional growth and contribution in radiologic technology: can it be taught?

The competency-based education project, as it was carried out in the Radiologic Technology Division at The Ohio State University, describes in some detail the competencies within the contributor role, as well as in technologist, educator, and manager. The domain amplifications of these competencies, giving knowledge, skills, and attitudes, revealed some lacks in the curriculum in the teaching of attitudes and related skills. The response to this lack has been to prepare a plan for incorporating such teaching into the program. It is hoped that this plan will result in strengthening the students' performance in personal and professional growth, and in contribution to the profession over the years.

Technical writing in the radiologic technology curriculum.

Although courses in technical writing are no longer suggested in the Curriculum Guide for Programs in Radiologic Technology, the writer believes that writing is essential to the growth of the profession and development of the professional. Emphasis is placed on some of the benefits that accrue to students who are exposed to technical writing as part of their technology curriculum.

Trends in radiologic technology education.

Allied health person-power education has for the past ten years shifted significantly from the hospital to college-based degree programs. Academically strong co-sponsored (college-hospital) programs offer considerable advantage for the health professional. Radiologic technology education generally has not kept pace with this trend. The need in radiologic technology education is not for additional training programs, but for better ones, and for continuing education for in-service personnel. Radiologic technologists should challenge their local institutions of higher education to provide for their needs and aspirations.

Clinical effectiveness in radiologic technology students: an empirical perspective.

This article describes two studies that examine the nature of effective clinical performance among radiologic technology students. The first study includes the perspective of staff technologists on student performance, while the second study includes the perspective of clinical instructors, important dimensions of performance that are identified include organization, relationship with peers and staff, relationships with patients, flexibility, and initiative. These dimensions are linked to specific student behaviors in clinical practice.

Baccalaureate level education in radiologic technology: results of a survey.

A survey of baccalaureate level programs in radiologic technology was undertaken. The survey sought to elicit information by observing as many aspects of each program as possible in an effort to present to the academic community a summary of the current approaches to upper division education in the profession. The results suggest a cetain lack of uniformity in educational technology, which may well be indicative of the modifications in, and redefinition of, the role of the baccalaureate radiographer in view of the rapidly changing field of radiology itself.

Continued professional education: an adaptable method for radiologic technology.

During the last decade, outside pressures have intensified the need for continued professional education. An adapted system is presented to provide a meaningful continued learning experience for participating professionals in radiologic technology. The system can be utilized to design an individual self-directed learning experience, or it can be adapted as a larger group program.

[Educational effects on radiological technology students of programs using a simulated aged person and hemiplegia patient].

A practical training program that enabled students to experience an aged person and hemiplegia patient was developed as part of the "Practice Program in Medical Imaging Technology," to help the students understand how to support patients in the X-ray examination setting. Eighty-three third-year radiological technology students participated in the program. During the hour-long course, they experienced a simulated program that contained various checkpoints. The students pointed out the difficulty patients had in going up and down stairs (51.8%) and their feelings of uneasiness and fear of blindness (36.1%). As a result of this practical training program, the students increased their understanding of how to support patients slated for X-ray examinations. However, certain problems became clear, such as students' insufficient experience and lack of practical guidance in supporting aged patients and those with hemiplegia at the time of X-ray examinations. This information will helpful for improving similar training programs to be held in the future.

Market-based strategic planning for radiologic technology.

Recent efforts by the federal government (eg, the initiation of a prospective payment system for inpatient Medicare patients) suggest a potentially significant change in health care policy. In response, health care institutions are actively engaging in the development of long-range strategic plans that will enable them to survive in a changing environment. This article explains how radiologic technology can use the process of market-based planning to help the profession now and in the future.

Multicompetency education in radiologic technology.

A primary method of cost control in health care facilities is the utilization of one employee in more than one capacity. The need for multicompetency education is readily apparent in radiologic technology, a field that consists of a wide variety of closely related specialty areas. The curriculum in the Division of Radiological Health Sciences at the University of Texas School of Allied Health Sciences at Galveston, has been specifically structured to accommodate this need. The division offers associate degree programs in radiography, nuclear medicine technology, and radiation therapy technology, and makes use of a core curriculum. The division also offers advanced skills training in subspecialty areas at the postassociate level in computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, angiography, and dosimetry. An evaluation of this system of multicompetent education is provided, based on a survey of graduates from the program. Multicompetent graduates were found to receive significantly higher salaries, enjoy an expanded job market, and have consistently better outlooks toward their future careers than single-skilled graduates.
