The AC Radiography program graduates about 25 students each year. The program is fully accredited by the Committee on Allied Health Education Accreditation (CAHEA) in cooperation with the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT).
Education programs for radiographers are conducted in cooperation with radiology departments in and around the city where the program is located. The Amarillo College program is directly affiliated with acute-care hospitals in Amarillo, Borger, Dumas, Hereford and Pampa. Radiography students also rotate through free-standing imaging clinics and private physician offices during their time at AC.
You will learn:
- patient care
- basic radiographic procedures
- principles of radiographic imaging
- radiographic anatomy and physiology
- radiographic pathology
- medical imaging
- radiation biology and protection
- sectional anatomy
The Radiography curriculum requires traditional on-campus coursework and six semesters (two years) of off-campus clinical experience. Students will accumulate about 1,800 clock hours of practical experience in multiple radiology departments before graduating.
