Description: The Certificate of Completion (CCL) in Computed Tomography program offers graduate Radiologic Technologists, Radiation Therapists, and graduate Nuclear Medicine Technologists 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.
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, NUC220, DMI/ICE223, NUC250
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.
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.
