Statement
Students will apply radiation safety by assessing patient risk to
radiation exposure during an x-ray exam and shield the patient with a
lead apron during on campus simulated lab exams.

2C. Report of
Data
classes will report at the end of the semester how many
times any student failed to screen a patient for pregnancy or
failed to shield a patient for a simulated lab assessment.
The benchmark is set at less than 10% for RT 123, 124 and
less than 5% for RT 233.
2006 – RT 123 & 124 = 10% 14 instances of not using
radiation protection during simulated evaluations for 18
students with 8 evaluations performed = 10%
RT 233 = 4.7% 4 instances of not using radiation protection
during simulated evaluation for 14 students with 8
evaluations performed

Section 3: Reflection on Assessment Results
Directions: Complete this section to reflect on the results of the assessment of the SLO.
3A. Date Section
3 Completed
3B.
4/2007
What were the most important findings from the data?
1. Students are improving from the 1st year to the 2nd year
2. The benchmark is being met
3. The 1st years just met the benchmark, this topic should be stressed
earlier and more often in 1st year positioning and physics courses
3C.
What changes can be made to address these implications (e.g.
changes to the program, curriculum, teaching method, etc.)?
none
3D.
What resources are needed to make these changes?
none
3E.
Next time this assessment is run, what changes need to be made to
the SLO statement, assessment, rubric, or method to get better
results?
Listing on the rubric “Why did the student fail to assess or shield the patient”.
3F.
How does this SLO tie a) to any program-level SLOs (for course-level
SLOs) or b) to institutional core competencies (for course- or
program-level SLOs) or c) general education outcomes (for course- or
program-level SLOs)?
Program level: Graduate ethical & caring practitioners who apply radiation safety by
shielding patients.
Institutional core: Content Knowledge & Professional & Personal Growth
3G.
What is the projected semester for this assessment to be run again?
Spring 2007
3H.
Are there any additional comments?
