If a required pre-requisite course does not meet the program pre-requisite requirements KPSAHS , it will be posted on your application record as not approved.

A course appearing in the list is no guarantee that the course can be used as program pre-requisite. A course not appearing in the list indicates that it has no prior history at KPSAHS.

Also, the fact that a class is listed from your current or former school is no guarantee that the course meets the required program pre-requisite.

All coursework completed at previously attended colleges and universities will be evaluated and posted to your KPSAHS applicant record as part of the admissions process.

Application/Pre-requisite Course Evaluation – Upon the completion of the application/pre-requisite course evaluation process. Those applicants who are selected for an interview will be contacted by phone. Due to the large quantity of applications received, KPSAHS does not obligate itself to interview all applicants.

Writing Assignment: Reflection Summary

Role of a Technologist

A radiologic technologist is an important part of the healthcare team. Their job is to take medical images to help doctors diagnose and treat patients. They work closely with radiologists, nurses, and other healthcare workers. Technologists must explain procedures to patients, position them correctly, and operate imaging equipment safely. They also keep patient records and follow safety guidelines to reduce radiation exposure.

Preparing the Exam Room

Before a procedure, the technologist prepares the exam room. They check the imaging machine to ensure it is working properly. They clean the room and place protective coverings where needed. They also review the patient’s medical history and confirm the correct procedure. In some cases, they prepare contrast media or other materials needed for the exam.

Risks in the Field

Technologists face several risks in their careers. One major risk is radiation exposure, which can be harmful over time. They may also be exposed to infectious diseases from patients. Other risks include physical strain from lifting and positioning patients, as well as stress from working in a fast-paced environment.

Safety Measures

To stay safe, technologists use protective equipment such as lead aprons, gloves, and radiation shields. They follow the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle to minimize radiation exposure. They also practice proper hand hygiene and wear protective gear to prevent infections. To reduce physical strain, they use lifting devices and practice good posture.

Common Exam: Chest X-Ray

A chest X-ray is a common procedure in radiology. It helps doctors check for lung infections, heart problems, or broken ribs.

• Machinery or Tools: The technologist uses an X-ray machine, a protective lead shield, and positioning aids.

• Safety Concerns: The technologist must avoid excessive radiation exposure by wearing lead aprons and standing behind protective barriers. Patients are given lead shields if needed.

• Patient Preparation: Most patients do not need special preparation. However, they must remove any metal objects and wear a hospital gown. Pregnant patients must inform the technologist before the exam.

Personal Learning Experience

One surprising thing about this profession is the physical strain it puts on the body. Technologists often stand for long hours and move heavy equipment. They also assist patients who have difficulty moving, which can cause muscle strain. Proper training and body mechanics are important to prevent injuries.

Being a radiologic technologist is a rewarding but demanding career. It requires technical skills, attention to safety, and compassion for patients. This experience has helped me appreciate the challenges and responsibilities of this field.
