Brief Introductory Statement:The Weber State University Radiologic Sciences Program evolved from two hospital-based radiography programs that wereconducted by St. Benedict’s Hospital and Dee Memorial Hospital. From 1967 to 1970, the hospital-based programs arranged tohave students complete general education courses at Weber State College, while the professional courses were still being taught atthe hospitals. In 1969, the Utah Board of Regents assigned the primary role for radiologic sciences to Weber State College.Beginning autumn quarter in 1970, the hospitals gave up sponsorship of the programs and Weber State College assumedresponsibility of the radiography programs with all classes taught on campus. The first class of Weber State College graduatescompleted the program in the spring of 1973.The Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Therapy programs were approved by the Utah Board of Regents in 1976 and the DiagnosticMedical Sonography Program was approved in 1980. As innovative technological imaging modalities were developed during the1980s, additional programs in Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Cardiovascular-Interventional Technology andAdvanced Radiography were added to the program cluster. An emphasis in Mammography was added in the early 1990s. Morerecently the Radiologist Assistant program was developed. Mammography was changed to Women’s Imaging and in 2009 theMasters of Sciences in Radiologic Sciences was approved.During the early 1980s, the Utah Board of Regents approved the baccalaureate degree level in allied health sciences, which allowedthe advanced radiography and the medical imaging specialty areas and radiation therapy to become an educational career ladder fortechnologists. Adding these advanced imaging areas to the program has proven to be beneficial to the medical community byproducing highly-skilled health care workers throughout the state and allows graduates to pursue upward career mobility.Due to campus-wide budget reductions in the mid-80s, the faculty were confronted with the possibility of discontinuing the advancedspeciality modalities. Rather than discontinuing the programs and leaving the medical community without a manpower source, thefaculty, with the permission of the dean and WSU administration, elected to move the programs to the Division of ContinuingEducation. The programs have been self-sustaining programs since that time.Outreach Program:The Weber State College Radiologic Sciences faculty was approached in 1978 to conduct a radiography program in Panguitch, UT inan effort to meet the manpower needs of the rural facility. Students were accepted into the Outreach program beginning autumnsemester of 1979. Soon after, other rural hospitals in the state requested students for their facilities. In 1982, Dixie Medical Centerin St. George and Valley View Hospital in Cedar City were added as clinical sites. The radiography program is designed to move intoan area, educate and train students and when the need is met, the program can be moved to another site. The three main sites forthe program are Price, St. George and Cedar City which provide qualified workers for the southern Utah areas and the Uintah Basinarea. Locations where the radiography program has been conducted in rural areas are as 2
dBeaverPaysonIn addition to the radiography program, Nuclear Medicine, Diagnostic Medical Sonography and Radiation Therapy programs havealso been conducted at various rural sites as need dictates.In an agreement between the faculty and the WSU administration in 1994, students at the St. George, Cedar City and Price, UTsites were included into the campus program as budget-related. The faculty agreed to maintain a minimum of three sites in theoutreach program and the classes are considered as part of the faculty teaching load.In 1992, the Utah State Board of Regents approved a proposal to incorporate clinical sites in surrounding states when WesternWyoming Community College in Rock Springs, WY requested that Weber State University assume responsibility for their radiographyprogram. Permission granted by the Board of Regents allowed several clinical sites to be added. The program operates in the samemanner as the Outreach program, meaning when the need is met, the program can be moved to a different site. The current sitesare as follows:Evanston, WYRawlins, WYJackson Hole, WYDouglas, WYCortez, CODurango, COFarmington, NMMontpelier, IDRiverton, WYTwin Falls, IDIn 1998, Weber State University assumed the management of a hospital-based program in cooperation with Intermountain HealthCare-Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. This program is considered on- campus and budget-related. This is a shared financialagreement between WSU and Intermountain Health Care.

B. Mission StatementThe mission statement for the Radiologic Sciences Program incorporates the philosophy of the program and is as follows.The mission of the Weber State University Radiologic Sciences Program is to adhere to the mission and goals of the University andthe Dumke College of Health Professions in serving the needsof the medical community and in assisting the students in the development of their potential as technologists and as human beings.Goals stemming from the mission statement are:The primary educational goal of the Radiologic Sciences Program is to use resources to equip students with the knowledge and skillsneeded to live effectively and to provide the knowledge, skills and judgment needed to render quality health care services.A second goal is to broaden the students’ knowledge within the professional discipline and to maintain professional competencythrough a desire to participate in life-long learning.Objectives to assist in attaining the mission and goals are to:1.2.3.4.5.Maintain curricula based on current practices and a competency-based clinical evaluation system.Integrate the didactic and clinical educational components to promote effective learning.Promote a sense of professionalism and a desire to learn through role-modeling, mentoring and teaching practices.Instill an appreciation of racial, cultural and human diversity.Advocate the value of human dignity and ethical conduct.Mission Statement Consistency:The Radiologic Sciences Program mission statement, goals and objectives are integral to the mission statement of Weber StateUniversity (WSU) and the Dumke College of Health Professions. For example, WSU is committed to offering both vocational andprofessional educational programs to prepare students for immediate employment or further study. The Radiologic SciencesProgram cluster is based upon a career ladder concept which provides lateral and/or vertical career mobility; the curriculum isdesigned to introduce new concepts and technological advances in medical imaging and radiation therapy; transmission of valuesand learning in the affective domain are incorporated into the curriculum throughout the program to promote the maintenance ofhuman dignity; critical or analytical thinking and writing are stimulated through classroom interactions, assignments, research andprojects; problem-solving skills are refined in the clinical education setting, in the laboratories, as well as the classroom; students areencouraged to attend professional society meetings, lectures and cultural activities to expand their knowledge; and students aregiven projects which are designed to stimulate life-long education and self-development.4
C. Student Learning OutcomesUpon graduation, students should be able to:1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.Provide the knowledge, skills and judgment to render quality health care services.Possess a broad knowledge of the professional discipline.Maintain professional competency through life-long learning.Possess knowledge of current practices and demonstrate clinical competency prior to graduation.Apply didactic and clinical knowledge and skills effectively and efficiently.Have acquired a sense of professionalism and a desire to learn.Appreciate racial, cultural and human diversity.Promote the value of human dignity and ethical conduct with regard to patient care.D. CurriculumThe curricula of the programs contain the content required by the national certification agencies. Students must complete all of therequired courses in order to be eligible to sit for the certifying examinations. Courses within a program must be offered each year toenable the class of students currently enrolled to qualify for the national examinations. The following tables provide informationabout each program.Features unique to the Radiologic Sciences Program cluster are the curriculum design which incorporates a selection of corecourses within the upper division advanced radiography curriculum that students entering the advanced imaging programs mustcomplete. This core curriculum efficiently utilizes instructor time and effectively implements the career ladder concept allowingstudents to become multi-skilled health care workers. Other unique features are the ability to offer the programs throughout the ruralareas of the state as need dictates by utilizing an educational delivery system which allows students to remain in their own ruralcommunity while gaining an education; the integration of both the didactic and clinical components of the educational experience thatreinforces learning; and utilization of faculty qualifications and expertise of being certified in more than one imaging modality.The Department of Radiologic Sciences has six (6) courses that have been considered part of general education. Five (5) courseshave be approved for Scientific Inquiry, Radiologic Technology 3443 Quality Assurance in Radiology, Radiologic Technology 4943Baccalaureate Thesis, Radiation Therapy 4446 Quality Assurance, Diagnostic Medical Sonography 4143 Quality Assurance, andNuclear Medicine 4333 Quality Assurance.
