(Students applying for Advanced Studies in Mammography who are not ARRT registered or registry eligible must be in their last year of studies in an accredited Radiography program, and complete that radiography program before entering the RAD 196 clinical component of the advanced studies.)&nbsp;All students seeking clinical rotations must have a current CPR certification and must maintain that certification throughout advanced study. Applicants must have maintained a \u201cC\u201d average in past program courses in the discipline or certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants must provide the following to be considered for admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apply.vccs.edu\/applications\/vccs\/apply.html?application_id=4095\">Application to SWCC<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Official transcripts of all other colleges attended were submitted to the Admissions Office at SWCC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Completed&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sw.edu\/health-technology\/mammography-advanced-studies-application\/\">Mammography Advanced Studies Application<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy of current ARRT certification card, or current unofficial Radiography Program transcript<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you require the RAD 196 clinical education (75 total clinical hours):\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Copy of current CPR certification by the American Heart Association<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Current PPD<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Immunization records (Varicella, MMR, Hepatitis B, Flu)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>*<strong>HIPAA training, criminal background check, and drug screen will be required at the student\u2019s cost (approximately $95) and purchase of Trajecsys tracking system (approx. $50) will be required at the student\u2019s cost.&nbsp;<\/strong>Hospital facility orientation will be required.&nbsp; These must be completed before the student can begin clinical education.&nbsp;The faculty will provide instructions to students who are accepted into the Mammography Advanced Studies track.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The student in Mammography must abide by all community college policies as well as hospital policies while enrolled in the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon admission and during study, the college and hospital faculty will carefully observe and evaluate the student\u2019s progress. If, in the opinion of the faculty, a student does not exhibit professional behavior, the student will be asked to withdraw from the advanced study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will not be eligible to receive the certificate until a grade of \u201cC\u201d or better is obtained in each of the required courses. Before entering the clinical areas, the student must receive complete clinical clearance. Please see Ms. Horn for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Criminal Background Checks\/Drug Testing:<\/strong>&nbsp;Background checks for criminal history and sex offender crimes against minors are required for entrance into some clinical agencies. Students with convictions may be prohibited from clinical practice and may not complete the advanced study. Clinical agencies may require drug testing before the placement of students for clinical rotations. Students with positive drug test results may be prohibited from clinical practice and may not complete the advanced study. The cost of criminal background checks and drug testing will be the responsibility of the student.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div id=\"block_8da65967babbecb6200aa12cbbba1994\" class=\"container blocks-with-title small-blocks mb-20\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12\">\n<h2 class=\"block-title text-uppercase text-center\">Start Here.<\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n            <div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 mt-6 block-item-container\">\n                <div class=\"block-item half position-relative text-center text-md-start d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center h-100 blue\" style=\"background-image: url();\">\n                    <div class=\"row w-100\">\n                        <div class=\"title-row\">\n                            <div class=\"row align-items-center justify-content-center block-item-content mx-auto p-5 py-md-10\">\n                                <h3 class=\"text-uppercase text-center mb-5\">Call Us!<\/h3>\n                                <a href=\"tel:276-964-2555\" class=\"btn btn-primary rev px-10 w-auto\" aria-label=\"276-964-2555 about Call Us!\" target=\"_blank\">276-964-2555<\/a>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 mt-6 block-item-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apply.vccs.edu\/applications\/vccs\/apply.html?application_id=4095&#038;_gl=1*1g9u8bf*_gcl_au*ODM2MTIyOTEyLjE2ODQ0MTY2OTA.&#038;_ga=2.73339803.941078439.1687788041-1719028318.1684416690\" class=\"d-flex flex-column h-100\" target=\"_blank\">\n                <div class=\"block-item half position-relative text-center text-md-start d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center h-100 gold\" style=\"background-image: url();\">\n                    <div class=\"row w-100\">\n                        <div class=\"title-row\">\n                            <div class=\"row align-items-center justify-content-center block-item-content mx-auto p-5 py-md-10\">\n                                <h3 class=\"text-uppercase text-center mb-0\">Apply Today<\/h3>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Advanced Studies Mammography Advanced Studies is designed to prepare selected students who are registered or registry-eligible radiologic technologists to qualify as contributing members of the allied health mammography team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1976","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.11 (Yoast SEO v27.2) -
