The Radiologic Technology Program at El Camino College is a diagnostic medical radiography program leading to an A.S. Degree and eligibility to take licensing examinations for the American Registry of Radiologic Technology (ARRT) R.T. (R), and certification by the State of California, Radiologic Health Branch for Radiography (C.R.T) and Fluoroscopy (F).
This program does not offer separate courses in only fluoroscopy for state certification. The fluoroscopy courses are integrated within the Program Courses. This program does not offer courses for certification in Mammography, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Therapy, MRI or Computed Tomography (CT).
The Associate in Science (A.S.) Degree Radiologic Technology program is a minimum of twenty-five months in length. The Program begins a new class of students each FALL semester. The program consists of four regular semesters (Fall and Spring), two eight week Summer sessions, and one Fall semester post session.
The clinical (hospital) internship parallels the academic courses. Satisfactory completion of all academic and clinical competencies for the degree and certification requirements qualifies students for State and National Certification examinations.
The Radiologic Technology Program is fully accredited, having met requirements of The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT), and the California Department of Public Health, Radiologic Health Branch (CDPH-RHB).
Radiologic Technology Program Courses must be taken in sequence, and each course must be completed with a minimum grade of "C" to continue into the next semester and remain in the program.
