Teaching and learning methods

Language of instruction: Norwegian

This practical training course builds on knowledge and skills that the students have acquired during previous periods of practical training. The students are to develop their CT, MRI and conventional radiography skills, and a high degree of independence is expected. Students may also undergo practical training in one or more of the following areas: interventional radiography, paediatric radiography, nuclear medicine and mammography.

Most of the institutions that make up the external practical training arenas for this programme are located in Oslo and Eastern Norway. The students must therefore expect to commute during one or more of their periods of practical training. Students are assigned to diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy units. It is emphasised that the students should become familiar with the profession early on and that they will have practical training in all three years of the programme.

Students must comply with the clothing regulations in force at the practical training establishment. Special requirements for tests or vaccination may apply at individual establishments.

Course requirements

Passed first and second year of the programme or equivalent. RAB1050 and RAB1060 are exempt from the progression requirement.

Assessment

The course concludes with an individual written six-hour exam.

Candidates who fail or who were absent from the ordinary exam for a valid reason can take a resit/rescheduled exam.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

Publicly approved law collections with notations according to more detailed guidelines are permitted during the exam.

Grading scale

The work and teaching methods include self-study, interprofessional cooperative learning and external practical training under supervision for 12 weeks in diagnostic imaging departments.

One week of practical training corresponds to 40 hours of study effort. There are 7 self study days that must distributed over this period. The study days are chosen in collaboration with the supervisor.

Examiners

  • a minimum of 90 % attendance in practical training
