| MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
Career Studies Certificate MEC
Purpose: This career studies certificate is designed as
an enhanced-competency module to provide expertise in Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) to registered technologists. This curriculum
will prepare registered technologists for employment as MRI technologist
in hospitals and imaging centers. Courses will fulfill professional
continuing education (CEU) requirements, including the American
Society of Radiologic Technologists’ ECE program.
Eligibility: All students must be graduates of an approved
radiologic technology program and be registered or registry eligible
according to the standards provided by the American Registry of
Radiologic Technologists. Radiographers must be registered in
Radiography for one year prior to being eligible to sit for the
Magnetic Resonance Registry.
Program Requirements: All students must hold a current
CPR-C certification. Students must maintain a C average in all
courses. A career certificate will not be awarded until a grade
of C or better is obtained in all didactic and clinical components.
Clinical Requirements: Students will be required to locate
an imaging center/hospital to complete the clinical component
of this course. An NVCC Preceptor Agreement must be presented
to the clinical staff. The contract must be signed and filed in
the radiography offices prior to beginning clinical rotations.
Days and hours of clinical assignments will be agreed upon by
