Medical Radiation Sciences {338} Courses in Medical Radiation Sciences are administered by the Department of Medical Physics and Applied Radiation Sciences.
General Sciences Building, Room 105, ext. 26256
http://www.science.mcmaster.ca/MedRadSci
Department Notes
- Courses for Levels I, II, III and IV Medical Radiation Sciences, Radiography, Ultrasonography or Radiation Therapy specialization are available only to students registered in the Medical Radiation Sciences program unless otherwise stated.
- Lab courses may be held at learning settings external to the University.
- Students are responsible for arranging their own travel to and from or accommodation in learning settings external to the University and for covering any costs incurred. All students enrolled in the Medical Radiation Sciences program are expected to be able to travel to any learning setting in Ontario. The final assignment of learning settings for any clinical practicum course is constrained by the availability of the requested setting and resources. Students may, therefore, be required to complete a clinical practicum course in a learning setting that is not of their choosing.
- For all clinical practicum courses, the prerequisite skills and patient care courses must have been completed within the previous twelve months; otherwise the student must complete a skills reassessment course during that twelve-month period.
