Introduction - Medical Imaging
The mission and purpose of the Medical Imaging Technology Department is to educate and train students for entry level employment in Radiography.

MEDICAL RADIOGRAPHY EDUCATIONAL GOALS

• Produce clinically competent radiographers
• Supply the community with competent radiographers
• Promote professional growth, continued learning, and the values of a  professional radiographer
• Develop skills in critical thinking and effective communication

The program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. Upon completion of the program the student is granted an Associate of Applied Science degree and is eligible to apply for certification examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in diagnostic medical radiography.

The program curriculum is a balance of general educational and technical courses, as well as supervised clinical practicum work at local hospitals. This combination provides the student an opportunity for educational development and skill competency during the 24-month program.

Prior to entering the Radiography program, students may take any of the general liberal arts courses required in the Radiography program. Medical Radiography students must earn a grade of C or above in each Medical Radiography (ADR) course and maintain an overall grade point average of at least 2.0 in order to graduate from the Medical Radiography program.

If a student earns a grade of D, W, or F in a medical imaging (RADR) course, the student will not be permitted to continue in the program until that course has been repeated and a grade of C or above has been earned. Students earning grades of less than a C in 3 RADR courses will be suspended from the program.

Students who do not enroll in the Medical Radiography program for one or more semesters must make written petition to the Medical Imaging department chair for re-entry into the program.

Because clinical space is limited, students are admitted on a competitive basis. Those seeking admission should apply to San Jacinto College and gain acceptance to the college. The Medical Radiography Program holds pre-enrollment meetings throughout the year for those interested in the program. For dates and times of these pre-enrollment meetings, you can call the Medical Imaging Department at 281-476-1871. Attendance to a pre-enrollment meeting is required to be able to apply to the program. Program admission criteria and the selection process are explained at the pre-enrollment information meeting.
