The Program

The Radiologist Assistant (RA) program, graduates of which earn the Master of Imaging Sciences (MIS) degree began in 2005.  It is designed to prepare highly qualified and exceptionally motivated diagnostic imaging technologists for careers as competent and compassionate advanced practice radiologic health care providers. The RA program addresses the needs of the adult learner in a health professions setting with online instruction, a part-time option, minimum campus visits (2), and clinical education either at the students place of employment or nearby.

The MIS degree is designed to accommodate multiple educational tracks as the demand for advanced practitioners in specific modalities emerge, beginning with the Radiologist Assistant (RA). Core courses will address educational needs for advanced practice across the imaging disciplines, and specific program tracks will focus on specialized areas of imaging expertise.  The track for the Nuclear Medicine Advanced Associate (NMAA) began in 2009.
