The Radiography program at Sanford-Brown College-Fenton (SBC) is designed to prepare students to perform radiographic procedures and understand radiation protection, radiologic physics, and image production. Students will study principles and procedures used in professional practice, including image analysis, radiation protection, radiographic pathology, digital image acquisition and display, and radiographic testing. The core curriculum is structured to include a lecture component, an imaging laboratory component, and an integrated clinical component. The final clinical portion of the curriculum consists of supervised experiences in a clinical environment, which requires competencies, logs, and evaluations completed by the student. At the conclusion of the program, graduates who have diligently attended class and their clinical, studied, and practiced their skills should have the skills to seek entry-level employment as radiographers.
The Radiography program at SBC is programmatically accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). Therefore, graduates of the program are eligible for and encouraged to apply for certification through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). This credential is a nationally recognized voluntary certification that may affect employment opportunities and/or income potential. Only graduates of JRCERT accredited radiography programs meet the education requirements to apply to ARRT for certification. However, ARRT certification requirements are not controlled by SBC and are subject to change by ARRT without notice. Therefore, SBC cannot guarantee that graduates will be eligible to take this certification exam, at all or at any specific time, regardless of their eligibility status upon enrollment.
STATE LICENSURE/REGISTRATION INFORMATION
In Missouri, radiographers are not required by law to be certified by ARRT or licensed/registered with the state in order to practice. However, ARRT certification and/or state licensure/registration may be required in other states. SBC does not control state licensure/registration requirements in Missouri or other states and cannot guarantee that graduates of the program will be eligible to practice as radiographers in Missouri or in another state, at all or at any specific time.
