The mission of TMCC's radiologic technology program is to provide general and basic science education, combined with a sound foundation in the theory and art of radiologic technology to meet the educational needs of the students. This is evidenced by a competency-based program employing various teaching methodologies and technologies delivered through quality instruction. The graduates will have the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist's Examination for Radiographers and become a member of the health care team.

Once selected for the program, the students complete 24 months of educational experiences. As part of the curriculum, students spend 1,952 hours in clinical education experiences conducted in cooperation with departments of radiology in Reno, Sparks and Carson City.

Prospective students interested in current program policies are encouraged to review the current Radiologic Technology Program Policy Handbook. The handbook is on reserve in the library.

American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT)

The ARRT is the national agency responsible for testing, certifying, registering, and renewing registration of radiologic technologists. This involves, but is not limited to, mandatory continuing education and the investigation of ethical violations. Persons with prior felony or misdemeanor convictions may be admitted to the program but be prohibited by the ARRT from taking the examination. The ARRT will conduct a pre-application review to determine the impact of a conviction on eligibility. Pre-application review forms may be requested from the ARRT Department of Regulatory Services at 651-687-0048.
