放射科学专业 Follows Family’s Example

放射科学专业,科迪·纽维尔

Kody Newell knew at a young age he wanted to help others in need, so a career in healthcare 看起来很合适. But he didn’t know which sector until he started college.

“I did some research on different parts of the healthcare field and found my home 在放射科,”他说.

As it turns out, his “home” in radiologic sciences was a familiar one. 一个堂兄,医生. Charles Newell, helped found the department of radiologic sciences in 1976 and chaired 将近四十年了. An aunt graduated from the program and is a CT tech at 流动医院. 纽维尔的母亲也毕业于十大彩票网投平台.

Radiologic sciences graduates learn X-ray techniques plus an advanced modality: CT, MRI, ultrasound, radiation therapy, interventional radiography or mammography. They 还可以学习放射学管理吗.

Newell chose computed tomography, or CT, a mainstay in diagnostic medical imaging. CT scans generate cross-sectional images of the body and allow for 3D imaging. Newell was able to get plenty of experience at his CT clinicals and as a student radiographer through South’s relationship with local hospitals. 

 

"I did some research on different parts of the healthcare field and found my home 在放射学.”

 

As with MRIs, CT patients have to lie flat and enter a cylindrical bore. 南的强调 on patient care served Newell well in those settings. 

“A lot of patients that are claustrophobic get worried,” Newell said. “你必须。 说服他们,让他们放松.”

USA offers Alabama’s only radiologic sciences bachelor’s degree. 程序开始运行 with two years of general and pre-professional study. 最近两年的重点是 radiology and a student’s chosen speciality.

Newell opted to attend South for a bachelor’s program rather than an associate-degree program at a community college because of greater opportunities for career advancement, and, in the job market, “it does pay quite a bit more.”

After graduation, Newell planned to get experience working as a CT tech, then return to school for a master’s related to healthcare administration. “我的长期计划是 is that I want to move into hospital management.”

  • Radiologic sciences students have access to four energized radiographic laboratories equipped with phantoms, imaging accessories and traditional X-ray equipment, and a fifth laboratory where they can practice radiographic equipment manipulation.
  • Students can experience a variety of clinical settings, including trauma, orthopaedics and acute care settings, and free-standing emergency departments.
  • South’s program is the only bachelor’s degree program in Alabama. 这也是唯一的 program in Alabama that, on completion, allows the student to earn not only a radiography certification but also a post-primary certification in an advanced modality.
