Introduction
Language of instruction: Norwegian
In this course, the student will continue to develop skills from the practical training period in the first year of the programme. The course includes practical training in CT, MRI, radiation therapy and conventional radiography. Students may also undergo practical training in one or more of the following: 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.
