Statement of Mission
Consistent with the mission of Wharton County Junior College, the Radiography Program will graduate students with an Associate of Applied Science. The program will afford the opportunity for individual growth, application of knowledge, and articulation to a baccalaureate degree program in the pursuit of continuous knowledge. Upon graduation from the program, the student will have the clinical, problem-solving, and communication skills equal to that of an entry-level radiologic technologist able to meet the needs of our community.
In fulfilling our mission statement the program will:
-
Graduate students adequately prepared to become entry-level radiologic technologists.
-
Encourage professional development and life-long learning.
-
Promote the development of students’ critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills.
-

Capstone
Experience: During the last
semester of the program, the capstone experience consists of a total body
competency exam that tests the student’s psychomotor skills and a mock
registry exam that measures cognitive skills.
The students are then allowed to sit for the American Registry of
Radiologic Technologists examination.
