In the radiologic technologist program at Cleveland University-Kansas City, students receive their A.A.S. in Radiologic Technology degree in as little as two years. CUKC admits students to the Radiologic Technology program two times per year. Students complete eight general education prerequisite courses, then spend 16 months receiving instruction in a classroom setting and in a clinical training environment. Courses are in the evenings from 6-10 p.m. Clinical training occurs at affiliated medical and imaging facilities in the surrounding communities.
Students gain experience via two full-functioning radiologic equipment rooms and in the University’s two demonstration suites. Clinical experience comes via partner healthcare facilities in Kansas City and surrounding communities.
Our program is accredited for Radiography by the Joint Review Committee in Education for Radiologic Technology. JRCERT, the only national accreditor for radiography, is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) for the accreditation of traditional and distance delivery educational programs in radiography.
I found the combination of patient care and technology appealing. I also enjoy that this field pushes me to be creative when it comes to imaging…every patient’s body build and medical condition is different, so you have to know how to position patients differently.
