schedule themselves on Easter Sunday. A student should not purposely schedule himself or herself for more vacation days than the allowed days left after previously used illness or vacation days. A first year student exceeding the allowable amount of time off for the first year will have that time deducted from the fifteen days allowed of vacation or sick days in the second year. A second year student exceeding the allowable amount of time off will make up the time at the end of the school term prior to receiving his or her signed certificate. If make up is necessary in order for the student to receive his/her certificate, this will be straight time (one day in the clinical environment for each day to be made up). A student may voluntarily make up time when exceeding the allowable vacation and/or illness time. The student should notify the program director or clinical instructor the date when time is makeup. The student must indicate on his/her time card that it is makeup time and must be signed off by the technologist. Makeup time will be allowed only in four hour or eight hour blocks. The student must notify the program director in writing of the intent to make up time prior to the day. Leave of Absence In special circumstances a student may request a leave from didactic and clinical classes. Bereavement Leave Students will be granted up to three days leave upon the death of a member of the student’s immediate family. Students will not be required to use allotted vacation days to take this leave. This leave will be granted within a seven day bereavement period of three days before and three days after the funeral, or as agreed upon by student and Program Director. The student’s immediate family shall be defined as: spouse, the student’s or the student’s spouse’s children, step-children, adopted children, mother, mother-in-law, father, father-in-law, step-parents, brother, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepsiblings, grandparents, and grandchildren. Medical Leave Medical Leave is described as a period of time where the student is absent from didactic and/ or clinical classes due to a medical necessity which has been demonstrated or documented by a Licensed Independent Practitioner [LIP]. An LIP’s verification must be provided prior to returning to classes. When the verification indicates the student is able to return to class, the student is expected to return to class on the date identified by the physician. The Program Director may allow additional time if it is determined to be reasonable and warranted. A student who has a long term or reoccurring illness that necessitates a medical leave which extends for longer than twelve months will be terminated from the program. If the health of the student improves so that the student feels capable of returning to the 42
program, the student will need to apply for reentry into the program as a first year student. The student who has taken a leave will be required to extend clinical/didactic education beyond the normally required two years to make up for the missed days to meet all clinical and didactic attendance requirements prior to graduating from the program. Depending on the length of time the student is away from the program because of a leave and the point of the student’s progress in the program, it may be necessary for the student to restart the program or to repeat a portion of the program when returning from the leave. The need for restarting the program will be determined on a case by case basis by the Educational Advisory Committee. Pregnancy Leave The student may take leave for the safety of the fetus if a concern is raised about possible radiation risk or upon the recommendation of the student’s physician. The student will be required to extend clinical/ didactic education beyond the normally required two years to make up for the missed time missed during the leave in order to meet all clinical and didactic requirements prior to graduating from the program. Depending on the length of time student is away from the program because of a leave and the point of the student’s progress in the program it may be necessary for a student to restart the program or repeat a portion of the program when returning from the leave. The need for restarting the program will be determined on a case by case basis by the Educational Advisory Committee. Student Supervision Students assigned to clinical rotations are scheduled for learning experiences in working with equipment and patients. Students must be supervised in their performance of radiologic examination to assure patient care and safety is not compromised. Students are not to be used in place of paid staff. A qualified radiologic technologist is defined as a technologist who has received primary certification in radiography, nuclear medicine or radiation therapy magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound or certification in an advanced modality. Students, during clinical experience, will be supervised at all times. A qualified technologist shall be assigned to each imaging area where a student is assigned, regardless of the level of the student’s competency. The technologist is in charge at all times. The technologist is responsible for the student that is assigned to him/her. The technologist is in charge of all decisions and the relegation of authority. The student will be directly or indirectly supervised, depending upon his or her demonstrated competency for a procedure. Until students achieve the program’s required competency in a given procedure, all clinical assignments should be carried out under the direct supervision of a technologist. The ratio of clinical staff technologist to student shall be 1:1. An exception to this 1:1 ratio may occur when an uncommon procedure is performed. At that time more than one student may temporarily be assigned to a technologist. Immediately Available Students shall have the immediate availability of a qualified technologist, in the performance 43
