Radiologic Technology Co-Directors Kenneth Kinsey Eric Hall The radiologic technology program at Rhode Island College is a joint program in conjunction with Rhode Island Hospital’s School of Diagonostic Imaging. It is a comprehensive four-year program consisting of two years of General Education and cognate courses at Rhode Island College followed by two years of School of Diagnostic Imaging clinical education courses. Clinical education is held at Rhode Island Hospital, Hasbro Children’s Hospital, University of Orthopedics, and Rhode Island Medical Imaging. Students who successfully complete the program are eligible to take the national certification examination offered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Accommodations for part-time, evening students are built into the program. B . S . IN RADIO LO GIC TE CHNO LO GY Admission Requirements 1.
