  • Required preliminary courses

    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.

  • Learning outcomes

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

  • Content

    The midway and final assessments are made by the practical training supervisor in cooperation with the contact lecturer. The final decision on whether to award a pass or fail grade is made by the university.

  • Teaching and learning methods

    After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of skills and general competence:

    Skills

    The student can

    • assess how normal anatomy and common pathologies are shown in relevant diagnostic imaging examinations
    • plan, prepare and carry out simple CT and MRI examinations and take part in other diagnostic imaging examinations and treatments
    • plan and independently carry out a day programme of chest and skeletal examinations
    • assess image quality requirements related to the indications for X-ray, CT and MRI examinations
    • obtain and communicate the information needed to safeguard a patient when administering medication and contrast agents independently

    General competence

    The student can

    • apply and reflect on the department's patient safety procedures
    • apply hygiene guidelines and sterile procedures to prevent the spread of infection on an independent basis
    • discuss image criteria and assess image quality
    • apply and practise the code of ethics for radiographers and reflect on ethical issues in professional practice
    • apply adapted communication, patient care and risk assessments for individual patients and next of kin
    • understand the expectations and obligations inherent in interdisciplinary cooperation
    • understand safe use of radiation and optimisation
  • Course requirements

    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.

  • Assessment

    The following must have been approved in order for the student to receive an assessment:

    • a minimum of 90 % attendance in practical training
    • individual oral presentation at the midway assessment in accordance with set criteria
  • Permitted exam materials and equipment

    Assessment of practical training. The assessment is based on the learning outcomes for the course and the continuous assessment that students are subject to throughout the practical training period.

    Students can only be assessed if they meet the minimum attendance requirement of 90% for the practical training. For more information, see the general part of the programme description about practical training assessment.

    Resit assessment: Students who fail a period of practical training normally have to retake the whole practical training period.
