MRI 220: MRI Clinical II

An advanced clinical practicum prepares students for real-world environments by incorporating both in-clinic experience and simulation, totaling 450 hours, with students earning no more than 250 total hours via simulation from MRI 210 or 220. Students will work collaboratively to apply patient screening, safety, positioning and communication techniques learned throughout the program. Students gain experience working in an imaging setting, learn to execute patient orders, identify risk factors, select advanced MRI techniques, and optimize imaging sequences. They will begin to manage complex patient cases, with an emphasis on patient care, artifact reduction and troubleshooting. The simulation component can reinforce and expand clinical skills by providing exposure to rare or difficult imaging scenarios, patient management issues, or technical challenges that may not arise in clinical rotations.
