The Program
The program in radiography at Covenant Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas is 20-months and culminates in a certificate of completion.
After graduation, our students are eligible to apply for the certification examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Upon successful completion of the examination, you'll be registered in the field of radiologic technology in radiography and may use the initials RT(R) after your name.
Many hours of study are required to be successful. Qualified personnel, including registered radiographers and radiologists, supervise our students in the clinical areas. Testing is conducted through written and demonstration exams.
All classes are scheduled during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. Following an initial orientation period, you'll be assigned to specific areas in radiography departments to begin clinical development.
Students are scheduled in classroom and clinical activities for no more than 40 hours per week; attendance is mandatory. Covenant School of Radiography graduates are expected to be able to:
- Safely and competently perform radiographic procedures
- Perform in a professional and ethical manner
- Demonstrate critical thinking and flexibility in the clinical practice
- Serve patients in a manner that is consistent with Covenant Health's Christian mission of caring
