CVPH Medical Center School of Radiologic Technology is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in adiologic Technology. It is also approved by the New York State Department of Health to train radiographers eligible for a New York State License. The program was started in 1965 and has been recognized for its excellent pass rate received on the examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

Liberal arts studies by Empire State College of SUNY New York are provided at the Plattsburgh unit of the Northeast Center located on the Plattsburgh State campus. The 40 college credits awarded to the CVPH Radiology Program are combined with the 24 liberal arts credits completed during the two-year program to assure a minimum of an Associate Degree in Science. The registered areas are Science, Math and Technology (Radiologic) and are in addition to a Radiology School diploma. A student may transfer previous earned credit to work toward a higher degree, but must take at least 24 credits with Empire State during the 24 months enrolled regardless of previous education. Classes through Empire State are usually completed via on-line. Cross enrollment, however is an option provided it does not interfere with the radiology class schedule.

What is a Radiographer:
The radiographer examines the patient for broken bones, ulcers, tumors, diseases or malfunctions of various organs by producing diagnostic images, ready for the physician's interpretation. In many instances, the radiographer works independently, while for some advanced procedures the radiologist and radiographer work together as a team. Responsibilities include: image production through positioning of patients and operation of clinical instrumentation, radiation safety, patient care, quality control and imaging manipulation and processing.

Our Mission is:
To provide a quality education in the radiographic sciences, utilizing a current progressive, competency-based clinical/didactic method of instruction to prepare our graduates for a professional career as a radiographer and to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technology examination.

Our Goals are:

1. To graduate a student with the knowledge and skills of an entry-level Radiologic Technologist that will meet the needs of the community
2. To facilitate development of applied skills in effective communication, critical thinking, and problem solving in the practice of radiography
3. To graduate a student who will recognize the need for professional development and lifelong learning
