MRI Clinical Week 2

Modality Information
MRI, CT, CV Clinical Fellowship
40 hours of clinical rotations (Monday-Friday) each week will give the technologist the opportunity to experience a wide array of exams, be tutored by experienced advanced modality professionals who provide insights, advice, and help you get the most out of your training. Also, clinical fellowships will allow technologists the opportunity to accrue some of their clinical experience (competencies) for preparation for advanced modality examinations.

Clinical rotations are based on a per week registration by the technologist. It is strongly recommended attendance in clinical rotations be for the full weeks offered. Register early; there is a limited number of clinical sites available. It will enhance clinical experience if technologists communicate their goals related to clinical training to the fellowship coordinator.
