SCIENCESRADIOLOGIC SCIENCES PROGRAM STUDENT HANDBOOK MISSION & PROGRAM GOALS The program in Radiologic Sciences at McNeese State University offers a Bachelor of Science degree which prepares students for the health care profession as competent radiographers (R). In addition, the program prepares students for career opportunities in Mammography (M), Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR), Bone Densitometry (BD), Vascular-Interventional Radiography (VI), or Cardiac-Interventional Radiography (CI). The program integrates learning and clinical environments to promote advanced professional development. The program mission aligns with the University mission to emphasize in-depth disciplinary knowledge and its application to academic and professional environments. Students achieve success through the studied acquisition of content knowledge, the demonstration of discipline-specific skills and dispositions as well as mastery of general education competences such as critical thinking, effective communication, and independent learning. The program goals are: 1. To provide an education that promotes clinical competency. SLO – 1.1 Students will be able to demonstrate radiographic positioning skills accurately SLO – 1.2 Students will provide patient care and comfort to patients while performing radiographic procedures SLO – 1.3 Students will be able to apply the principles of radiation protection for the patient, self and others. 2. To foster critical thinking skills enabling effective problem solving in the professional environment. SLO – 2.1 Students produce radiographic images demonstrating proper selection of exposure and techni
