MEDICAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES
Radiography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging & Diagnostic
Medical Sonography: General and Vascular Concentrations
All programs housed within the Medical Imaging Technologies Department are
selective admissions programs. Students who desire to be considered for any
program(s) housed within the Medical Imaging Technologies (MIT) Department
must first be accepted into the department (Step One), and then additional
requirements are necessary to be awarded a seat in their program of interest
(Step Two). A complete file includes: an application, high school/GED transcript,
college transcripts, ACT/SAT scores, and evidence of high school algebra and
chemistry with a “C” grade or better. The deadline dates for a complete file for
acceptance into the MIT Department (Step One) are: January 6, June 1 and
August 17, 2016 and January 11, 2017. The deadline dates for a program
review (StepTwo) are: October 19, 2016 (Radiography only) and March 16,
2016.
Students who meet the admission requirements for acceptance to the
department are sent an e-mail to their Owens Community College e-mail account
that requires them to call the Medical Imaging Technologies (MIT) Department
office to schedule an appointment with the Chair. After meeting with the chair,
students are required to complete one or more four hour visits to local health
care agencies to observe the various imaging modalities in which they have
an interest. Following the observations, students must return a response card
requesting to be evaluated for the specific MIT program(s) of their choice.
Admission to all programs is competitive. Students are ranked by the points
obtained by the evaluation. Students earning the highest number of points are
invited to accept a position in the program of their choice. After completion of
the evaluations, students are sent an e-mail to their Owens Community College
e-mail account that requires them accept a seat in the program of their choice.
Students have 14 days to respond to this email.
The step two evaluations for all programs are completed in March. Students
accepting a seat in Magnetic Resonance, Sonography – General, and Sonography
– Vascular will begin the program in June. Students accepting a seat in March
in Radiography will begin the program the following January. An additional
evaluation for Radiography is completed in September. Students accepting a
seat in September in Radiography will begin the program the following June. It
is highly recommended that Radiography students complete PHY 211 Radiologic
Physics the fall semester prior to their January start date or spring semester prior
to the June start.
The number of students accepted is limited by clinical availability. Radiography
accepts 20 students for each class that begins in January (March review) and
June (September review). Magnetic Resonance accepts 12 students, General
Sonography accepts 13 students and Vascular Sonography accepts 10 students;
these programs begin only once per year in June.
