HALIFAX HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER SCHOOL OF RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGYSTUDENT MANUALHISTORY OF HALIFAX MEDICAL CENTER’S RADIOLOGICTECHNOLOGY PROGRAMIn the early 1960s, the faculty of Daytona State College (DSC) and the Halifax Health MedicalCenter Radiology Department expressed an interest in developing a Radiologic TechnologyProgram because of the recognition of the ever-increasing needs and opportunities in this alliedhealth profession. The existing certificate programs, number and quality of entrants into theprofession had been a disappointment, and there was a desire for combining an advancededucational opportunity to allow for upward mobility and continued education toward a degreein Radiologic Technology or a related discipline.It was felt that the combined academic and clinical education would upgrade the level of theradiographer as well as supply an ever growing and continuing need for RegisteredTechnologists in Radiography. A quality hospital-based educational program including generaleducation courses at the college level would seem to provide an ideal educational opportunity tobetter prepare individuals for this health profession. This became the objective of the Program.After thorough investigation, a proposal for a hospital-based program in Radiologic Technologyincluding general education courses was submitted. This proposal was submitted to theCommittee on Technologist Training of the American College of Radiology and the AmericanMedical Association’s Council on Hospitals and Education. This program was so impressivethat it has remained a prototype model for hospital-based programs requiring general educationcourses taken at community colleges. This program was approved on August 19, 1965, for atotal of 30 students divided over a 3-year period.In June 1990, an official affiliation agreement was signed with Daytona State College allowingour graduates the opportunity to receive an Associate in Science Degree in Radiography. Thisdegree assists our graduates to continue their education toward a Bachelors Degree. TheProgram has articulation agreements with the College of St. Francis to allow graduates theopportunity to continue their education toward a BS degree. Program graduates are also eligiblefor application to DSC’s Bachelors Degree programs and Valencia College’s BS Degree inRadiologic Technology program upon program completion.The program became a 24 month hospital based program with the class that started in January2016.November 2018Page 6
