Medical Radiography

BCIT’s Medical Radiography program trains individuals in X-ray imaging, areas of computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, OR imaging, emergency/trauma, interventional procedures, and mammography. Throughout the program, students receive intensive theoretical and practical instruction through lectures, labs, blended and online courses. Students are expected to act as simulated patients to learn positioning techniques, as well as interpersonal skills.

Students gain practical experience in the clinical environment located in various hospital sites throughout Vancouver Coastal, Fraser Health and Interior Health Authorities. These experiences are designed to promote confidence, competence and professional practice through repetition of the “learn, understand, apply” learning cycle. Students continue with their academic studies via concurrent online courses throughout their clinical terms. The Medical Radiography program uses a computerized student site-matching program together with student input for the assignment of clinical sites.
