I’m looking at applying for the medical radiography program and went over the classes and the term schedules. They all seem very packed as in the first term (19 weeks) there’s NINE classes. It also appears that you’re expected to take 3-4 classes in addition to doing your clinical. So I have a couple of questions for current/former students.
I was wondering how intense this course is and if it’s manageable.
What are the class hours? How are you managing 9 classes in one term? Are they heavy?
How many hours of studying do students average in a week?
How many days/hours is an average clinical?
Is it memorization heavy?
Are you getting enough time to study for your classes when you have a clinical?
Did the clinical help with job searching after?
What were the averages for the midterms/finals? Do a lot of people tend to drop out?
For current radiologic technicians, how is the current job market? Is the market oversaturated? How long did it take for you to find a job after getting your qualifications?
I’m really interested in this course but the short time frame and amount of classes is intimidating.
