MAM 340: Mammography Clinical Practicum

This practicum provides supervised clinical education in an MQSA-accredited mammography facility. Students apply didactic knowledge in a clinical setting while performing and documenting all ARRT-required mammographic clinical experiences. Clinical learning progresses from observation to supervised participation and culminates in independent performance of mammographic examinations. Students develop professional competence in patient care, image quality assessment, quality control participation, and regulatory compliance, with emphasis on reflective practice, professional communication, and adherence to national standards. Successful completion of the practicum supports eligibility for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists post-primary Mammography examination.
