1 RISP Clinical Philosophy

The clinical experience incorporates not only radiographic performance but also ethical considerations, professionalism, and educational drive in striving for excellence, involvement in one’s education and profession, and application of theory and knowledge to clinical actions. The basis of the clinical grade is the achievement of the minimum objectives needed to pass the course. Higher clinical grades should only be awarded to those who excel in clinical performance and demonstrate overall professional development. The clinical experience courses are an integral part of the educational program. They are designed to allow the student to develop skills and competence in performing radiographic procedures. The clinical curriculum has been developed to integrate with the classroom and laboratory courses.
