All medical imaging students are expected to perform exams and procedures using proper body mechanics and ergonomics. All students are required to follow appropriate guidelines for injury prevention.
Any student injury that occurs in the clinical setting requires the student and the supervising technologist to follow institutional policy regarding incident reporting.
All student injuries will be reported to the Dean or Clinical Coordinator immediately. Students may complete the incident report with the assistance of the supervising technologist.
Workers' Compensation does not cover students. In the event of an injury, students may utilize the Emergency Department or seek care from their healthcare provider, and are responsible for any costs incurred. Expenses incurred due to injury may be supplemented by the MCHP-provided accident insurance specified in the accident insurance policy.
