Observation Experience
Applicants with completed files will receive information scheduling them for the program’s observation experience. Observation is a shadowing experience which allows the applicant to tour the facility and observe radiographers in a healthcare setting. This observation is a minimum of two hours and applicant will not be allowed to participate in any “hands on” studies. The applicant is always under the direct supervision of a Shore Medical Center Radiologic Technologist. An applicant’s observation experience is only one of the many aspects that are taken into consideration during the selection process and does not guarantee acceptance into the program.
INTERVIEW
Applicants successfully completing the observation experience will be scheduled for an interview with the program’s Selection Committee.
PROGRAM ACCEPTANCE
Acceptance to the program is based upon many factors. The Selection Committee for the School of Radiologic Technology evaluates applicants in a variety of areas for the purpose of determining the best candidates for the school. The decision to accept or reject an applicant is based on the full study of an applicant by means of reviewing all application material, and an interview conducted by the Selection Committee. An applicant’s prior experience in the healthcare field and/or employment at a healthcare facility is only one of the many aspects that are taken into consideration during the selection process and does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Applicants will receive notification of their status through the mail. Accepted applicants will receive an Acceptance Agreement and information concerning a criminal background review. Selected applicants will be contacted and scheduled for a physical examination and drug test by the Shore Medical Center Human Resources Department. The accepted applicant’s ability to participate in the program is contingent on the results of the drug test and criminal background review.
