Description
The field of radiology is a rapidly changing world. Radiological techniques are perfected, adapt and expand their applications. Radiological technologists are working to produce radiographic images of anatomical systems (bone, blood vessels, various organs, etc..) Will be used to establish a medical diagnosis. Radiography, tomography, angiography and fluoroscopy examinations are to be made from high-tech devices for radiological technologists.
Students receive advanced training, highlighting the professionalism and quality of the relationship with patients and patients.
The University of Moncton offers bachelor radiological techniques used in conjunction with the Community College of New Brunswick in Dieppe and the Régie régionale de la santé Beauséjour. Students have the chance to have direct access to hospital and contact with real patients early in their training. They receive advanced training, highlighting the professionalism and quality of the relationship with patients and patients.
Career Opportunities
These professionals working in oncology centers, clinics and radiological laboratories and hospitals, operating room, emergency room, intensive care and even the morgue for identification. There is currently a high demand for graduates in radiology who are courted by employers even before they complete their training.

Description
For most of us breathe is naturally, without thinking about it. But thousands of Canadians are constantly struggling to breathe. They are rugged people, premature babies with underdeveloped lungs, victims of heart attacks and patients with asthma or emphysema. It is very likely that one or respiratory therapist will play a crucial role within the team who cares. Respiratory therapists are professionals and health professionals who assist physicians in diagnosing and treating respiratory disorders.
The University of Moncton offers baccalaureate respiratory therapy applied in conjunction with the Community College of New Brunswick in Dieppe and the Régie régionale de la santé Beauséjour. This partnership allows students to have access to devices on the cutting edge of technology. The degree includes a strong educational component specific to the profession and many clinical placements early in the program.
Career Opportunities
Respiratory therapists work mainly in hospitals short period in which they practice in intensive care units, general services, nursery, operating rooms and emergency units, but are also at work in the community. The respiratory therapist plays a vital role in health care and employment opportunities in this area are excellent.

Established in 1998, the Residency Program in Respiratory Diseases offers a four-year program to two residents per year. It includes lectures, seminars, clinical case discussions, clinical experience (including spirometry, fiberoptic broncoscopy) in the wards and the outpatient Departments of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery, at the Ospedale di Circolo in Varese.
The program is designed to train pneumologists with clinical skills in the management and early diagnosis strategies of respiratory diseases, with training in epidemiology, statistics, industrial medicine. Attention is especially focused on lung cancer (including multimodality treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy), lung interstitial disease, tuberculosis, asthma.
At the end of each academic year the residents are evaluated by the Council of the Residency Program. Upon completion of the four-year program, the residents present a thesis and qualify as Specialist in Respiratory Diseases.
Established in 1997, the Residency Program in Diagnostic Radiology is a four year program that trains clinical specialists, with a combined program of classroom and clinical and diagnostic experience. Between November 2001 and October 2005, the program has trained 22 residents.
Main Subjects: anatomy, physiology, pathology, internal medicine, general and specialized surgery, forensic medicine, physics, radiobiology, radiation protection, contrast media, computer applications, imaging modalities (conventional radiology, digital radiology; ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, angiography), breast imaging, cardiac imaging, emergency radiology, gastro-intestinal imaging, genito-urinary imaging, head and neck imaging, molecular imaging, musculoskeletal imaging, neuroradiology, pediatric imaging, thoracic imaging, vascular imaging, interventional radiology (vascular and extra-vascular).

This Program comprises two academic years and one summer sessions (22 months). The academic program is divided into closely related periods of didactic and clinical practice. The Program’s Curriculum is designed in such a way that the balance between didactic and clinical requisites changes as the students progress in their training, increasing clinical responsibilities as the student approaches completion of the program. This system allows the student to better adapt to professional life and at the same time achieve a more ordered transition towards work entry level once he/she finishes training. After the student completes all academic and administrative requirements he/she will be eligible to sit at the Puerto Rico’s Radiology and Radiotherapy Technologists Examination Board and at the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists tests.
Job Description of the Radiologic Technologist
A Radiologic Technologist is the Health professional that produces diagnostic images through the utilization of specialized equipment working with ionizing radiation and other electronic means. He/she is responsible for producing quality images, gather patient history/information and submit his findings to a certified physician for analysis and diagnosis. The Radiologic Technologist will provide services to patient/clients in the most variable of settings, ranging from Hospital, Diagnostic and Treatment Centers and stand alone offices, being these public or private. The Radiologic Technologist is responsible of assuring the safety and well being of the patient /client under his charge and as a member of the health professional team has the additional responsibility of educating, supporting and serving his/her patient/client.
The Radiologic Technologist Graduate Profile:
• Evaluating the patient’s medical and clinical information in order to follow the prescribed radiographic procedure.
• Utilizing discrete and valorative judgement in the operation and performance of radiographic procedures.
• Performing radiographic procedures to achieve quality images that include unequivocal diagnostic information of the anatomic structure and of possible pathologic conditions.
• Assisting the Radiologist in those invasive procedures requested or needed to fully evaluate functional conditions.
• Facilitating the diagnosis by integrating medical information, clinical history and the images produced.
• Orienting patients about the radiographic procedures and on healthy life styles.
• Integrating quality assurance procedures to his/her professional duties as to maintain a consistent excellence level in
