College Misericordia has received
two grant awards totaling $20,770
from the PA Department of Educa-
tion Bureau of Vocational and Adult
Education to further develop its
Radiologic Technology program.
College Misericordia is one of only
2 educational institutions in Penn-
sylvania offering a four-year bache-
lor’s degree in Radiologic Technol-
ogy (Rad Tech).
A grant of $7670 was awarded to
develop a Refresher-Retraining
who are not currently working as x-
There are 8698 registered technol-
ogists in Pennsylvania. Eighty-eight
percent of the total are women, a
proportion of whom have the work
force for various reasons, including
child-raising and are now ready to
re-enter the work force.
Although Rad Tech is a highly
technical and ever-changing field,
there is no refresher course for x-
ray currently in operation in Penn-
sylvania. In addition, there are no
regulations in the United States
regarding the need for upgrading
skills before inactive technologists
can return to service.
Another population which can
benefit from the training program
Back to school
are individuals who have completed
a radiologic technology program but
have failed to pass the registry
exam. Since passing the exam is a
prerequisite for employment in this
field, the Refresher-Retraining
course may become a mechanism
leading to registry and employment.
The second grant of $13,100 will be
used to purchase state-of-the-art x-
ray equipment to be utilized in the
Refresher course. Since Rad Tech is
a highly technical fieldd, a quality
x-ray training program must pro-
vide instruction on up-to-date equip-
ment. New equipment will prepare
program participants for employ-
ment at jobs which utilize the most
recent advances in technology.
The radiologic technology pro-
gram at Misericordia was initiated
in 1973. Since that time, its various
programs have prepared approxi-
mately 330 students as x-ray tech-
nologists.
College Misericordia is an accred-
ited school of Radiologic Technology
possessing certification of the Com-
mittee of Allied Health Education
