The eight-quarter Radiologic Science program at Tacoma Community College leads to an Associate in Applied Sciences degree, as well as a certificate of completion. Upon successful completion of the curriculum courses, graduates may be eligible to take the national certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Successful completion of the registry examination results in national certification as a Registered Radiologic Technologist, RT (R) ARRT. Clinical practice is performed in hospitals and imaging centers that are affiliated with the program and within the service area of Tacoma Community College. Radiologic Sciences education is in Diagnostic Radiography only. The Radiologic Science Program is sequential and should be considered full time. Radiology classes are generally day courses.
The Tacoma Community College Radiologic Science program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology.

Visitation Instructions and Guidelines
Documentation of an 8-hour visitation (job shadow) to a diagnostic radiology department is a requirement to apply to the Radiologic Science program. The purpose of the visit allows you to see what a staff radiographer’s job entails. TCC’s radiologic science program is designed to prepare a student to effectively work in this type of environment. Following are the specific visitation instructions:
It is the applicant’s responsibility to arrange the visit.
Make your arrangements to conduct this visitation early. If you wait until the last minute, prior to the application deadline, there is no guarantee that a radiology site can accommodate you in that time frame.
If you are unable to keep the appointment, please let the site know and reschedule.
The visitation must be made in a diagnostic radiology department1
At least 4 of the 8 hours must be done in a hospital diagnostic radiology department. If the hospital will allow a
full 8 hour visitation that is acceptable.
If a hospital limits you to a 4 hour visit the other 4 hours can be done in a diagnostic imaging center (e.g. – Diagnostic Imaging Northwest or DINW)2
IMPORTANT- Because the program of instruction concentrates on general X-ray images of the body, time spent
to observe CT, MRI, U/S, or nuclear medicine will not fulfill this requirement. Remember, the visit is not a comprehensive tour of all modalities of imaging; it is to be strictly limited to general radiography ONLY. If a question regarding this arises at your visitation site, please show them this instruction sheet.
When you go for your visitation, you need to take the following forms with you:
Visitation form
Guidelines and Acceptance form
Observation Evaluation (filled out and returned by the orienting technologist)
The Visitation form and the Guidelines and Acceptance form must be completed and upload by the student to
the Radiology online application through your TCC portal, see instructions on page 7.
If you wish to visit one of our clinical affiliates, you may ask one of the students any questions you have about the program and you will need to contact the volunteer office at the following facilities to coordinate your visit:
Multicare Franciscan System Providence Hospital System Harrison Medical Center
Allenmore St. Joseph Prov. Hosp - Centralia In Bremerton
Tacoma General St. Francis St. Clare
Please DO NOT attempt to schedule a visit to Madigan Hospital at Ft. Lewis. They are not an affiliated site and cannot accommodate your request
When observing a diagnostic radiology department at the hospital, it is extremely important to dress appropriately. A professional, clean appearance is necessary as you will be observing patients. Please follow the guidelines below:
Dress, skirt, or nice slacks. No jeans.
Flat shoes with toe and heel in. No tennis shoes.
Limit jewelry to small and light colored.
Hair neat and clean.
If visiting a Franciscan system hospital you must coordinate your visit with the main volunteer office. If visiting a Multicare facility you must coordinate your visit with their Human Resources department.

Visitation form and the Guidelines and Acceptance form must be completed and uploaded by the student to the
Radiology online application through your TCC portal, see instructions on page 7.
Health care facilities are organizations designed to provide medical diagnoses, treatment, and care for patients. As an observing student in a radiology department or imaging center, you will be allowed to observe various interactions between patients, technologists, physicians, and other health care personnel
The health care environment is governed by various rules and policies which serve to ensure that the patient and his/her info rmation are held in trust. In keeping with this, students who are observing as applicants of the TCC Radiology Science Program are required to follow these guidelines:
1. As a student applying for the radiology science program at TCC, your role is strictly an observer. Although you may be qualified to administer certain aspects of patient care (such as CPR) due to your past education and experiences, you may not provide any direct patient care during this observation period.
2. During your observation, you will observe both patients and their information (including their medical images.) You may even observe an examination or information of someone you know while at the facility. It is permissible to ask questions of the
technologists available about the procedures you are observing. Please be advised that this is privileged information prot ected by federal privacy acts, and therefore cannot be shared with ANY party outside the facility, no matter how tempting it may be. This includes family members and friends.
3. Due to the privacy rules described above, some facilities may require you to sign a confidentiality statement specific to their institution in addition to this form prior to your observation. Department personnel may also request patient permission prio r to your observation of each procedure. While most patients do give their permission, patients do have the right to deny your observation of their examinations. Please do not be offended it a patient does not wish to have you present or observe his/her exam. Instead , respect the patient’s right to choose how his/her care is delivered.
4. The health care facility will make every effort for a safe and educational observation experience, but because your observation is an imaging center of the radiology department of a health care facility, you may be exposed to blood-borne and other pathogens while at the facility.
5. An observing student is ultimately responsible for his/her own actions. If a student fails to comply with the guidelines l isted above, the facility has the right to immediately suspend the student’s observation and/or bar him/her from future observations. In addition, the facility and/or Tacoma Community College cannot be held responsible for any damages or liability which may result due to inappropriate student behaviors during or after the observation period.
ACCEPTANCE OF OBSERVATION GUIDELINES
I have read the Guidelines for the Hospital Observation Requirement for students applying for the radiology science program a t Tacoma Community College. I understand my responsibilities concerning the observation with regard to patient confidentiality and the importance of following the instructions of the technologists during my observation. I understand that I am bound to thes e rules and other applicable department/hospital policies during my observation, and will comply with these policies to the best of my ability.

If you have any questions about the observation or this form, please call the Radiology Science program director at 253.566.5168. This form must be uploaded by the student to the Radiology online application through your TCC portal, see instructions on page 7.
Radiology Science Program
Observation Evaluation Form
To be admitted to the TCC Radiology Science program, a student must have observed in a diagnostic radiology department for an eight-hour period. It is permissible for the student to attend two, four-hour intervals or one, eight-hour interval, but a minimum of four hours out of the eight-hour total must be in a hospital setting. We feel that the prospective student will have a better understanding of the type of work that a radiographer does by attending the observation period.
NOTE: in the event that patient volume in the department appears to be low or inadequate, it is permissible for the observing student to reschedule remaining and/or additional observation time if the supervising technologist deems this to be appropriate. The faculty of the TCC radiology science program would like to thank you and your staff for the consideration you have shown to this prospective student and appreciate your comments.
For the orienting technologist, please answer the questions on the back of this form and return to the following address. You may also fax the evaluation form to 253-566-5179 or email the evaluation form to [email protected]
