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. CLINICAL COMPETENCY REQUIREMENTS 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. Clinical Requirements and documentation 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. GENDER SPECIFIC POLICIES 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. MR STUDENT PREGNANCY POLICY 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 requireme...

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. Patient/Procedure Identification Policy The purpose of the patient/procedure identification policy is for the student to understand the importance of checking and verifying the following information before performing all standard protocol radiology procedures as well as following through during and after the procedure has been completed: ▪ Correct patient ▪ Correct procedure ▪ Correct side ▪ Correct reason ▪ Correct anatomic marker 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 complete 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. The following process is performed for direct/indirect supervision: ▪ The RT and student will review the control sheet and student’s competency evaluation report prior to performing an exam. ▪ During the control sheet review, the student will verbally explain to the RT what exam will be performed as well as specific projections to be done during exam. ▪ The RT will review the student’s competency evaluation report to decide whether direct or indirect supervision is needed. The student will use the following process for the identification of Diagnostic Imaging (DI) patients and verification of the exam to be performed: ▪ The student will verify the patient’s identity and exam using the TPERS+ ID process listed below. Once verified, the student will complete the BEGIN PROCEDURE step in LifeChart and then perform exam. TPESR+ ID process is a 10-step process, allowing for a TIME OUT prior to imaging. The student will confirm this by placing a check mark next to each element on the RIS order.
Indirect Supervision indicates the supervisor is not physically present for the care event being provided by the learner.
