Mission Statement:
The mission of Bacone College Radiography Program is to assist in meeting community needs for highly competent radiographers, who give skilled care with respect for individual, cultural, and spiritual differences, while maintaining the college commitment to serving American Indians. This is accomplished through didactic education, and clinical education provided at affiliated hospitals and clinics. The combination of theory and clinical practice enables the student to acquire the knowledge, skills, and professional values necessary for the practice of radiography in diverse community and clinical settings.
Program Goals/Student Learning Outcomes:
The program goals/student learning outcomes of Bacone College, Associate of Applied Science Degree in Radiography, can be located in the Radiography Student Handbook, Bacone College Website, or Trajecsys (clinical tracking system).
Program Overview:
Radiography is an exciting and dynamic field of medical imaging. Radiographers use radiation generating machines and associated equipment to produce images of internal body structure/organs. These images contain vital information needed by the physician for proper patient diagnosis.
Bacone radiography students receive classroom instruction at the Muskogee location and clinical experience at affiliated hospitals and clinics. Upon successful completion of the program, the student will receive an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Radiography and is eligible to take the national certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Radiographers may be employed in a hospital/clinical settings, private physician office, or mobile diagnostic environments.
*Students who graduate after December 31, 2014 will be required to have a minimum of an associate’s degree in order to be eligible to apply and take the ARRT national certification exam.
