 About
Us
The Radiologic Technology Training Program (RTTP) at AUBMC offers
a theoretical and clinical training of two years in diagnostic imaging
modalities to intelligent young men and women, who are seeking a rewarding
career and wish to be a member of the healthcare team.
Radiographers
produce diagnostic images of internal structures of the body. They perform
investigations varying markedly in their complexity, extending from simple
skeletal and chest radiography to sophisticated high-technology investigations,
such as computed tomography, ultrasonography, angiography, nuclear medicine and
magnetic resonance imaging. In carrying out these investigations, the
radiographer is responsible for the production of high-quality images and for
aspects of care towards the patient.

History
The RTTP was established in 1961. It started as
a one-year program. In 1970, the program was changed into a two calendar year
program as new modalities emerged in the field of diagnostic radiology.

Mission
RTTP’s mission is to educate and train student
radiographers, who will support the highest level of ethical patient care while
employing competent technical practices. RTTP is dedicated to providing quality
instruction with a commitment to the development of professional competence
while at the same time, promoting growth of the student as an individual.
