MRI 230 MRI Clinical III
This capstone practicum provides students with the remaining 450 hours (out of a total of 1000 clinical hours, with up to 250 hours through simulation) to refine their MRI skills in a clinical setting. Under supervision, students will work semi-independently, applying their full range of competencies while enhancing their technical abilities, critical thinking, and decision-making. The course emphasizes becoming skilled, compassionate clinicians who can work safely and collaboratively with radiologists and clinic staff. Students will develop the ability to manage complex imaging challenges, advocate for patients, and ensure quality care. By the end of the practicum, students should be prepared for certification exams and ready to begin their careers as competent, effective, patient-centered MRI technologists
