A distance learning program in radiologic technology successfully graduated 10 out of 11 students, with 8 achieving radiography certification. This innovative program offered an associate degree to students across Massachusetts.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Radiography Education
  • Distance Learning Technologies
  • Allied Health Professions

Background:

  • Radiologic technology training traditionally requires on-campus presence.
  • Limited access to specialized allied health programs exists for remote or geographically dispersed students.
  • Collaborative models between unions and educational institutions can address workforce development needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the design and implementation of a novel three-year distance learning program in radiologic technology.
  • To assess the feasibility and outcomes of delivering an associate degree in medical radiography via distance learning.
  • To provide an accessible educational pathway for students throughout Massachusetts.

Main Methods:

  • A collaborative distance learning program was developed between the Service Employees International Union and Bunker Hill Community College.

  • The curriculum was adapted for a three-year distance learning format.
  • Student enrollment and completion rates were tracked, alongside certification success.

    • Main Results:

    • Eleven students enrolled in the distance learning radiologic technology program.
    • A high completion rate was observed, with 10 out of 11 students graduating.
    • A significant majority, 8 out of 10 graduates, successfully obtained radiography certification from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

    Conclusions:

    • Distance learning is a viable and effective model for radiologic technology education.
    • Collaborative programs can successfully expand access to specialized healthcare training.
    • The program demonstrated positive outcomes in student graduation and professional certification.
