I want to help ease your financial burden during this time of crisis. Radiology has been very good to me for over 20 years. Here’s a small way to pay back some.
I’m offering a $25 Amazon Gift Card for an HONEST review of your Radiography program. YOU CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS IF YOU CHOOSE.
This will help our next generation of technologists to better understand what we do and how we got here.
Please write your testimonial in a story format. Any submissions that simply answer the questions will not be considered. THIS ISN’T A SURVEY.
Deadline for submitting an article is May 31st. I will accept up to 20 submissions so we’re talking first-come, first-served here.
Send it to me by email: [email protected] and include the following:
- The Name and Location of your radiography program.
- The years you attended the program (I have to know how old your testimonial is)
- Then answer at least the following questions:
- Why did you choose radiography as your career?
- How much did the program cost in total (books + tuition)
- How many students applied, how many got accepted.
- What was the interview process? (entrance exam, interview, ??)
- Did your program require pre-requisite classes for entry into the program?
- Is there a waiting list to get into your program and if yes, how long is it?
- What was the breakdown of your classroom to clinical schedule (one year of solid classroom then one year of solid clinical rotations, or mixed classroom and clinical rotations starting the fourth month into the program, etc)
- What was the hardest class (in the classroom setting) and why?
- What was the hardest thing about clinicals for you and why?
- Why did you choose this particular school?
- What were the other options in your area for programs?
- Did you work while you attending school? If yes, how many hours/week.
- Did you utilize financial aid to pay for your school? Why or why not?
- What equipment did the school have on campus for you to use for practice?
- Was there equipment/study aids you wish the school had? List them.
- Did the school adequately prepare you for the ARRT boards?
- Did you or will you get an opportunity to shadow in an advanced modality during your program?
- On a scale of 1-10, rate the program overall on:
- Cost for what you got out of it?
- Teachers’ abilities, how good were they overall?
- Equipment at the school for practicing (patient care on dummies, x-ray equipment for clinical practice, etc.)
- How hard were the tests, overall?
- What top 3 things made you a successful student (study partners, great note taking, youtube videos, time management, certain study manuals, etc)
- What advice would you give to someone interested in radiography who has not applied yet?
- If you could start your career over, would you still choose radiography? If not, what would you choose?
- Last but not least, what do you like about this awesome career choice?
The list above is a minimum. Submissions that do not include this minimum will not receive a gift card.
Use subheadings to separate the different questions in your story. This makes it easier on the reader.
I will be sharing these “testimonials” on my website for future radiographers to read. That is why you need to state if you want your name listed in the article or not.
The more information, the better so give as much detail as you can.
Slurs or attacks on teachers will not be permitted by name.
All writings must be original works and the copyright will become the property of TheRadiologicTechnologist.com
Do your best to edit and proofread your submission. I will edit as time allows, if needed.
In the event that I get several reviews from the same program, I may need to reject some submissions. I will let you know by email if this happens to your submission.
The program must be located in the U.S.A. No submissions on schools located outside of America will be accepted at this time. Maybe in the future, but not right now.
Once your article has been submitted to The Radiologic Technologist.com, you cannot submit it elsewhere!
Do not send me articles that you have already posted or submitted elsewhere.
Once your article has been posted at TheRadiologicTechnologist.com, the copyright belongs to TheRadiologicTechnologist.com.
I reserve the right to edit articles for length, grammar, spelling, punctuation and to excise any portions that are off-topic.
I reserve the right to post only those articles that I deem of value and “blogworthy.”
If you are proud of your school, here’s your chance to tell everyone.
If you thought your school was horrible, here’s your chance to warn others.
I will let you know with an email reply that I received your submission within 48 hours.
