Every effort is made to place a student at a clinical site that is as close to his/her home as possible.  However, some students may still experience commute times of about one hour each way to and from their clinical sites.

Students will return to the DACC campus for a full day of supervised scanning activities approximately once every three weeks during the Spring and Summer semesters.

The clinical affiliates provide meaningful educational experiences to the student by the use of their facilities in “real world” environments. These opportunities allow the student to put theoretical and laboratory knowledge into practice on live patients in need of healthcare services.

Students will be assigned to perform the tasks that the department’s technologists perform as part of their regular duties. Students will not be assigned on a routine or consistent manner to tasks that are not educationally meaningful.
