Program Description
The certificate program in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an upper-level, online program that will produce graduates, who are capable of working under the supervision of a physician, and who are proficient in the application of magnetic resonance imaging equipment and techniques to gather critical radiologic data to enable the diagnosis of a variety of conditions and diseases.
The program targets the acquisition of specialized MRI certification by place-bound college graduates currently employed in the medical field as licensed radiological technologists. It will consist of 15 credits total, delivered online, over a minimum of two academic semesters.
The curriculum will include: Instruction in pathologic data recording; magnetic resonance imaging data processing; magnetic resonance imaging equipment operation; and professional standards and ethics. Students in the program will complete didactic courses online, as well as clinical rotations at designated hospitals and imaging centers.
