Clinical Obligations


The Radiologic Technology program at Northeast State provides a comprehensive clinical education designed to immerse learners in hands-on learning experiences. Clinical education is a collaborative effort between the college, the learner, and the clinical education facilities, aimed at integrating theoretical knowledge with real-world application. During clinical rotations, learners work alongside professionals but do not replace existing staff. Unlike the classroom, where activities are designed for the learner’s benefit, the clinical setting is structured around patient care.

This clinical education requires a full-time commitment. Learners are expected to arrive on time and complete their full assigned hours (excluding a 30-minute meal break) for the entire clinical term. Additionally, they must follow all policies and procedures of their assigned clinical site.

Learners may be placed at various types of healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, diagnostic centers, surgery clinics, orthopedic clinics, urgent care centers, and physician offices (hereafter referred to as "clinical education sites"). Some placements may require travel up to approximately 120 minutes from the college’s Kingsport campus, and clinical sites are primarily located in Northeast Tennessee.

The Northeast State Radiologic Technology clinical coordinator will assign each learner to a clinical education site (CES), and learners are responsible for commuting. Travel expenses for clinical assignments are not compensated. To ensure a well-rounded experience, learners will typically rotate through multiple clinical sites each semester, depending on availability.

This approach ensures that all learners are exposed to a sufficient variety and volume of procedures to meet program competencies. Faculty review each learner's clinical schedule to ensure equitable learning opportunities, considering previous rotations and clinical experiences. Evening and weekend rotations offer learners comparable experiences in terms of procedure volume, supervision, and skills development. These rotations also provide opportunities to refine skills in time management, patient care, and department dynamics.

The program’s clinical education component requires learners to complete approximately 1,200 hours of clinical education. Learners are limited to no more than 40 hours of combined clinical and classroom involvement per week, with a maximum of 10 hours per day (excluding meal breaks).

Specialty rotations may occasionally require out-of-town travel or overnight stays. By enrolling in the program, learners acknowledge their responsibility to attend all assigned clinical hours, regardless of the site location.

In accordance with Student Affiliation Agreements between the program and clinical education facilities, learners are responsible for the costs associated with criminal background checks, drug screening, immunizations, and any required testing.

CLINICAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

Learners are responsible for ensuring the completion, cost, and ongoing compliance with the following requirements (but not limited to):

  • Criminal Background Check: Must be completed annually or as needed.
  • Substance Drug Screening: Required annually or as needed.
  • Professional Liability Insurance: Learners must obtain and maintain coverage ($1,000,000 to $3,000,000) throughout the program. Coverage available through Healthcare Providers Service Organization (HPSO), www. Hpso.com.
  • Physical Examination: A health evaluation must be conducted by a licensed practitioner (MD, DO, ARNP, or PA) using NeSCC Radiologic Technology program-specific forms.
  • TB Skin Test (PPD): Mantoux method tuberculin skin test within the last year is required. A negative PPD skin test result (.0mm induration) must be documented annually. Individuals with a positive result must provide proof of medical follow-up. The state of Tennessee mandates a two-step testing process within a year as required by clinical sites.
  • Tdap Vaccine: Must be within the last ten years (DTaP is not acceptable).
  • MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella): Proof of two lifetime vaccinations or titers showing immunity is required. Those born after 1980 must show evidence of two doses (titer results are not accepted).
  • Varicella Vaccine: Documentation of two vaccinations or proof of immunity via titers is required. A history of the disease alone is not acceptable.
  • Hepatitis B Vaccine (HBV): Completion of the HBV series is recommended and may be required by clinical education partners.
  • Influenza Vaccine: An annual flu vaccine is recommended and may also be required by clinical sites.
  • COVID-19 Vaccine: Vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 is recommended and may be required by clinical education partners.

Additional requirements include:

  • CPR Certification: Learners must maintain American Heart Association BLS for Healthcare Providers certification.
  • ID Badge: Learners must wear their assigned ID badge at all times.
  • Radiation Dosimeter: Assigned radiation dosimeter must be worn during clinical rotations.
  • Lead Markers: Learners must have their own lead markers for clinical use.
  • Program Uniform: Learners are required to wear the official program uniform during all clinical rotations. Hoodies, sweaters, or any additional outerwear are not permitted in the clinical setting.
