Indirect Supervision a. These courses require regular, ongoing communication with the training site administration and/or preceptor staff, but do not require a regular, ongoing physical presence at the training site. Indirect supervision contractual hours shall be equal to 0.05 x course credit hours of the clinical lab(s) under supervision x number of students.
b. Each department shall review with Department Chair the applicable courses to determine whether these courses are Indirect Supervision or Intermittent Remote Indirect Supervision and how many visits are required. This review shall be completed by the end of Spring Semester 2019 and submitted to the Xxxx.

b. Each department shall review with the Department Chair/School Director or Program Director the applicable courses to determine whether these courses are Indirect Supervision or Intermittent Remote Indirect Supervision and how many visits are required.

Indirect Supervision. An RT is immediately available to assist students regardless of the level of student achievement. Immediately available is interpreted as the physical presence of an RT adjacent to the x-ray room or location where the procedure or task is being performed. CLINICAL COMPETENCY REQUIREMENTS During each clinical education course, the syllabus will list the competency requirements that are to be completed for that semester. Students must complete competencies to ensure they have mastered the procedure or technique. All competencies will be completed on Trajecsys ® PROCEDURE - Student – Competency not completed on procedure – Direct Supervision: An RT is present in the x-ray room during student performance of a procedure. The RT will assess patient condition in relation to student knowledge and assist as needed throughout the exam. - Student – Competency completed on procedure – Indirect Supervision: An RT is immediately available to assist students regardless of the level of student achievement. Immediately available is interpreted as the physical presence of an RT adjacent to the x-ray room or location where the procedure is being performed. LEAD MARKERS Identifying anatomical lead markers (right and left) are to be used on all images taken by the student. When a student is gaining competency on an evaluation only their own student issued markers will be permissible. The student is responsible for all images bearing their markers. Personal markers may not be loaned to other students or staff technologists. The student is responsible for replacing lost anatomic markers. Replacement markers must be purchased immediately upon loss of marker(s). Payment in the form of cash will be made to the school. See program director for cost of markers.

Indirect Supervision. A registered radiographer is present on the premises and available for immediate assistance to the students.
Indirect Supervision indicates the supervisor is not physically present for the care event being provided by the learner.
Indirect Supervision. The registered technologist is immediately available to assist students regardless of the level of student achievement. Immediately available is interpreted as the physical presence of the technologist adjacent to the room or location where the procedure is being performed. RADIATION BADGE POLICY It is the policy of the hospital and directed by the State and Federal regulatory agencies that students be monitored by means of a dosimetry badge for recording radiation dose levels. The Medical Physics/Radiation Safety department will provide two radiation badges (ring badge and body badge) for monitoring students. It is the student’s responsibility to wear the radiation badges in the proper manner, protect it from damage, avoid losing it and turn it in on time. Failure to comply is a direct violation of policy as well as against State and Federal Laws. - The student must wear their radiation badges during clinical rotations. No student will be allowed to remain in clinical without their radiation badges. - The body badge must be worn at waist level and the finger badge can be worn on either hand with the label palm up. - Radiation badges should be never left in an imaging room, hot lab or injection room. - Radiation badges should not be worn if the student is having medical or dental radiographs. - Any accidents with the badge or loss of the badge must be immediately reported to program faculty. - Radiation badges will be read monthly and evaluated by the Radiation Safety Officer. If readings are reported that are outside of the predetermined threshold (ALARA) levels, the student’s work habits will be investigated by the Radiation Safety Officer. - Program faculty will review radiation exposure reports with students monthly. Students are required to initial reports. - Radiation exposure reports will be kept on permanent file at the Medical Physics/Radiation Safety department. - Any questions regarding exposures will be directed to program faculty. Radiation Safety Officer will be consulted as needed.

Indirect Supervision. The registered technologist is immediately available to assist students regardless of the level of student achievement. Immediately available is interpreted as the physical presence of the technologist adjacent to the room or location where the procedure is being performed. All students are given clinical expectations to be completed as a graduation requirement. The clinical requirements ensure that all certification requirements are met to take the certification examination. Candidates must demonstrate competence. Demonstration and documentation of clinical competence means that the candidate performed the procedure independently, consistently, and effectively. Candidates must demonstrate competence in mandatory and elective procedures. The list of required competencies is documented on Trajecsys.
Indirect Supervision. Once a student obtains competency on a particular procedure or task, the student may perform procedure following indirect supervision policy. The registered technologist is immediately available to assist students regardless of the level of student achievement. Immediately available is interpreted as the physical presence of the technologist adjacent to the room or location where the procedure is being performed. Lifespan Policy: All students, both male and female will be permitted to perform scans/observations that involve gender specific studies (i.e. breast and prostate imaging). However, to assure an environment that is conducive to patient privacy, patients will have the right to refuse a student’s participation. Rhode Island Medical Imaging (RIMI) Policy: Students are to abide by the RIMI policy. Detailed information regarding the policy can be found in the MRI program administrative binder and/or Trajecsys. Students are advised that childbirth and/or pregnancy could interrupt their educational progress. If a student be- comes pregnant and wishes to declare pregnancy, they are required to inform the Program Director in writing and complete a Declaration of Pregnancy form. Upon declaration of pregnancy, the student: ▪ Will have the option to counsel with MR Safety Officer. ▪ Xxxx submit a statement choosing one of the following options: o Immediate leave of absence. o Withdrawal from clinical rotations with continued participation in didactic instruction. o Continued full-time didactic status with clinical rotation limitations. o Continued full-time status. o Can withdraw her declaration. A student has the right to “UNDECLARE” her pregnancy at any time. Notification must be made in writing. Once a student has undeclared her pregnancy, the student will be treated as though she were not pregnant. ▪ Will not be allowed to perform any duties within the MR scanner room or Zone IV during actual data acquisition or scanning. A student maintaining full-time status with or without clinical limitations will be required to: ▪ Adhere to all safety precautions. ▪ Submit documentation as to any changes or problems in her pregnancy and the advisability of change in program status. ▪ Stop working immediately and report to program faculty if the pregnant student feels that she is working in an unsafe area or under conditions detrimental to herself or the fetus. ▪ Make up any missed didactic and/or clinical requirements. Students are allowed to inject in peripheral (an...
Indirect Supervision. ▪ The registered technologist is immediately available to assist students regardless of the level of student achievement. Immediately available is interpreted as the physical presence of the technologist adjacent to the room or location where the procedure is being performed.
