AAS in Radiologic Technology

Radiologic Technology is the art and science of using x-rays or high-level energy through modern equipment to produce quality diagnostic images. Mercy College Rad Tech graduates are experts in imaging, working directly with patients, and assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of injury and disease.

It is a belief that the education of radiologic technologists is responsive to national and community trends. Changes in society influence the values and expectations placed upon healthcare professionals and institutions. The needs and influences of society and new technology impact the delivery of medical care and radiologic technologists' continued development. The program strives to set realistic and achievable goals/objectives for each student based on professional standards. The goal is to produce a competent practitioner who can function in a rapidly changing healthcare environment. Education is a continuous process through which learners develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes resulting in cognitive, affective, and psychomotor changes. The faculty facilitates the teaching/learning process through the sequential presentation of concepts, theories, and experiential activities within an environment that promotes mutual trust, critical thinking, and self-development.
