Description: The Certificate of Completion (CCL) in Magnetic Resonance Imaging program offers graduate radiologic technologists, radiation therapists, nuclear medicine technologists, and diagnostic medical sonographers the opportunity to complete both didactic coursework and clinical skills experience necessary to prepare to meet eligibility for the professional certification in this field. The program focuses on specific skills and knowledge necessary to become proficient in this field.

Learning Outcomes
1. Apply magnetic resonance imaging safety in the clinical setting. (ICE233, ICE254, ICE264, ICE268) 2. Interpret orders for diagnostic imaging procedures. (ICE254, ICE268, ICE269) 3. Demonstrate effective communication in a healthcare setting. (ICE254, ICE268, ICE269) 4. Apply knowledge and learning to the professional development in the field of magnetic resonance imaging. (DMI/DMS/ICE220, ICE229, ICE272, ICE292, NUC220)

Program Notes
Students must earn a grade of C or better in all courses within the program. Where selected as part of program completion, the following introductory courses must be completed, to be added to the queue of those waiting for an available cohort space to begin the core curriculum: DMI/DMS/ICE220, ICE233, NUC220.

Admission Criteria
1. Certified by American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in Radiography or in Radiation Therapy, OR Certified by ARRT or the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) in Nuclear Medicine, OR Certified by American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) or ARRT in Diagnostic Medical Sonography. 2. Formal application and admission to the program by the Program Coordinator. 3. Background check requirements: Admission to an Allied Health program requires that students be in compliance with the Maricopa County Community College District Background Check standards. Upon conditional program enrollment, the student must comply with all requirements of the MCCCD background check policy. 4.
