Medical Imaging

Director: Eric Hall

The medical imaging program at Rhode Island College is a joint program in conjunction with the Lifespan School of Medical Imaging. It is a comprehensive four-year program consisting of General Education and cognate courses at Rhode Island College followed by clinical education courses at the School of Medical Imaging.

Clinical education courses are held at Rhode Island Hospital, Hasbro Children’s Hospital, University Orthopedics, The Miriam Hospital, and Rhode Island Medical Imaging. Students who successfully complete the program are eligible to take the appropriate national certification examination.

Students accepted into a medical imaging clinical program are responsible for obtaining certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (basic life support for the health care provider) prior to enrolling in clinical courses.

 

Students must consult with their assigned advisor before they will be able to register for courses.  

 

All students are accepted to the college as Medical Imaging – Intended majors.  Admission into the DMS, MRI, NMT or RAD concentrations is highly competitive.  The applicant’s academic performance and the results of a personal interview are both carefully considered in the admission process.  The criteria listed below are minimum admission requirements and do not guarantee admission into a medical imaging clinical program.
