Program Director A.S. Radiologic Technology & Executive Program Director B.S. Diagnostic Medical Imaging

Christy Foster Bollman, MAS, R.R.A., (MR)(CT)(R)

Radiography Executive Program Director, Northern California

We are so excited you are interested in pursuing a profession in imaging sciences here at Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts. Congratulations on making an excellent career choice. We have the A.S. in Radiologic Technology program offered at either the Sacramento or Concord campus. As a future Radiologic Technologist, you will be performing all x-ray duties under supervision in hospitals and critical care facilities as you complete our program.

We pride ourselves in having a diverse student population who are dedicated to learning and enhancing their professional and clinical skills. Our experienced Imaging faculty have an unwavering education to your success, providing you with a dynamic educational experience in the classroom and in the clinical environment. The clinical training facilities, with which we are affiliated, are located all throughout the Sacramento and East Bay and surrounding areas and include Level 1 and 2 trauma centers as well as outpatient imaging centers to ensure you receive the best, well-rounded and robust educational experience.

Our Northern California programs pride ourselves in being some of the top-performing schools in the nation. This is evidenced by our graduation, completion, and employment statistics posted on the Gurnick official website under the program informational page. Our program at each campus is very vigorous and challenging. However, the reward of completing the AS in Radiologic Technology program is life changing for our graduates as they begin their imaging professions. If you are ambitious, well organized and driven toward a career in medical imaging, we hope you join us in reaching that new career. We look forward to meeting you!

Program Mission

Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts and our A.S. in Radiologic Technology Program faculty are dedicated to providing qualified individuals with optimal learning experiences. We strive to provide the medical imaging community with competent radiologic technologists. They will demonstrate the highest standards of ethics, professionalism, clinical competency, and critical thinking while providing compassionate and respectful patient care.

The program’s philosophy ensures that graduates perform radiologic procedures as defined by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists Practice Standards. Graduates of the A.S. in Radiologic Technology Program will be taught professionalism and ethics consistent with the Principles of Professional Conduct for Radiologic Technologists and Code of Ethics.

A Radiologic Technologist is a person trained in the “art and science” of creating images of the human body using ionizing radiation. The radiologic technologist works closely with the radiology doctor (radiologist) and other physicians and plays a vital role as a professional member of the medical team. Technologists work in hospitals’ general radiography, surgery, trauma, pediatrics, clinics, doctors’ offices, and imaging centers. The role of radiologic science in medicine is continually growing. New applications and imaging equipment are in a constant state of development. The continued growth and development of imaging depend on highly qualified and well-trained radiologic technologists.

Some clinical rotations and radiographic examinations are deemed “gender-specific,” such as mammography and the hysterosalpingogram (HSG). While mammography is generally performed on females, the HSG is an examination conducted exclusively on female patients.

Male students should understand that they may not be allowed to observe or perform these examinations because of their sensitivity. Didactic information on these examinations will be provided to all students. However, clinical experience in these examinations may be limited to only female students.

Upon completion of the program, students are expected to be able to:

Demonstrate the positioning skills of an entry-level technologist.
Evaluate images for diagnostic quality.
Employ effective communication skills with the healthcare team.
Utilize communication skills with the patients and the public.
Adapt to patients’ conditions that deviate from routine exams.
Follow proper safety and ALARA practices for routine and non-routine exams.

Students will establish a plan for professional development and career enhancement upon graduation.

The program information, length, and schedule may change. Please read the accompanying Catalog and Addendum for changes and updates. Check with an admission advisor for details. Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts’ Radiologic Technology program provides a library and classrooms with media teaching aids, textbooks, journals, periodicals, anatomical charts, phantoms, and energized lab equipment.

The Radiologic Technology program is an Associate of Science degree program. The student will receive didactic, laboratory, and clinical experience in affiliated medical facilities. Instructor-to-student ratio is as follows: laboratory 1:10, residential lectures 1:30, online lectures 1:25, and clinical 1:1. Classes may be scheduled Monday through Sunday. Students will attend an average of forty (40) hours per week of instruction, including didactic, labs, and clinical. Clinical activities may be held on weekdays or weekends, and shifts may include day, evening, or graveyard as the clinical site requires. Didactic courses are held between 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

The program’s affiliated clinical sites hold current state-issued certificates as approved clinical sites. The clinical sites provide supervised clinical instruction in the patient care setting. All clinical sites employ radiologic technologists and supervisors/operators (doctors) who hold certification from the State of California Radiologic Health Branch.
