Radiologic Technology Educational Timeline

The radiologic technology program at Arnot Health is a 23-month program beginning in August. You'll attend classes Monday through Friday with no classes on nights, evenings, weekends, or holidays. Class hours are 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and can vary depending on the scheduled day of the week. Graduation is in June.

The associate degree classes are taught by Corning Community College (CCC). It is recommended for CCC classes to be taken as an online class. The radiology program adapts for the CCC classes, so the student is not scheduled over an eight-hour day. Students are also required to have successfully completed Principles of Anatomy and Physiology I and II.

Clinical rotations for first-year students start approximately six weeks from the start of the program. Clinical rotation hours are at the discretion of the program director and subject to change. Most rotations are scheduled 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Senior students will spend rotations in specialty areas (M.R.I., Ultrasound, CT, Interventional Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, etc.). The JRCERT defines the operational hours of traditional programs as Monday- Friday, 5:00 a.m.- 7:00 p.m.

Students receive one week vacation in November (Thanksgiving week), a two-week vacation during the winter holiday season, and one week vacation in the spring. The program is not in session on federal holidays. First-year students receive a two-week vacation in the summer.
