This at a minimum must address hazards (fire, electrical, chemical), emergency preparedness, medical emergencies, HIPAA,and Standard Precautions. Radiation safety should also be discussed.AttendanceStudents must report to assigned class or clinical rotation for the duration of hours specified by schedule, unless pre-approved byprogram director for absence or tardiness. If a student misses 4 days throughout the program their clinical grade will be lowered oneletter grade. If a student missed six or more days during the year, the student can be removed from the program.The student is expected to report to the clinical facility at the designated time. Tardiness is not considered responsible, professionalbehavior. Three late arrivals, each in excess of 10 minutes, will be considered the equivalent of one absence for grade determination.It is the student's responsibility to call the Clinical Instructor within 30 minutes prior of the beginning of the clinical time period ifyou are not going to be present or if you are going to be late. Failure to do this will result in two points being deducted from the finalclinical grade average for each infraction.5

VacationStudents receive ten days of vacation, which must be taken during the one year program. One of the weeks will be taken around theChristmas and New Year break and the other will be at the end of the program year. Students are allowed one personal day and twointerview days while in the program. The interview days require documentation and may only be taken during the spring or summersemesters.HolidayStudents will not have class or clinical practicum on hospital holidays:New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, Day before Thanksgiving,Thanksgiving, Day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas. Students must be present on all other holidays unless preapproved by program director.Sick TimeStudent must contact clinic instructor/program director in all cases if sick, by 7:45 a.m. that morning. Any time missed by student dueto calling in sick must made up. If student misses class time, he/she is responsible to contact instructor and make up missedinformation – notes, quiz, or exam. If student misses clinical rotation he/she must make up time within scheduled dates of particularclinical rotation – extra hours/day - early and late. Students may also make up time during scheduled vacations. Student may notexceed more than 40 hours/week. If a prolonged illness or injury occurs which would not allow a student to make up the time prior tothe end of the current semester, SIU’s “Incomplete” policy will be followed.Inclement Weather PolicyIf bad weather (snow, ice, flooding, tornado, earthquake, etc.) occurs on a clinical day, the student is responsible for finding out if thelocal university in the clinical site area is closed. Make sure to coordinate which university to use with your clinic instructor. If theyare closed due to hazardous road conditions, then the student is excused from going to clinical even though SIUC may be open. Thestudent must write “Snow Day” on this/her Time Sheet, and this absence will be verified by the Clinical Supervisor. If the localuniversity is open but the student cannot get to his/her clinical site, then he/she must make up the day.Please note: All unexcused “snow days” must be made-up. If the public elementary schools are closed due to temperature extremes(frigid cold, oppressive heat, etc.) the student is still expected to go to clinical as originally scheduled.Dress CodeAll clothing and jewelry must be consistent with professional/business dress standards applicable to the work responsibilitiesinvolved, and must be appropriate for reasonably anticipated public contact. Students should wear a white mid length lab coat at alltimes. Students dress clothes should be neatly pressed for a professional appearance. Males should also wear a tie. Dress shoesshould also be worn however no open toe dress shoes are allowed.All students must wear the SIU student name badge each clinical day. For facilities that supply the student with a separate badge, theidentification badge must be worn so that the picture, name and department are easily visible at all times.Hair, including beards and mustaches, must be clean, neatly groomed, and kept in such a way as not to interfere with student duties orsafety. Hair that is longer than the collar on males, or longer than the shoulder on females, is to be pulled back and fastened to preventcontamination and to decrease the spread of microorganisms such as pseudomonas and staphylococcus. Only natural hair colors areallowed. Beards and mustaches cannot be longer than ¼ inch.Make up, perfume and cologne are to be moderately applied.Fingernails are to be clean, trimmed, and extend no further than 1/4" beyond fingertips. Clear or conservative light-colored nail polishmay be worn.No visible tattoos area allowed. Piercings are limited to ears only (one set of earrings).Disability, Illness, PregnancyThe Program Faculty will work with SIU’s Disability Office to determine if a student may continue the Program should illness ordisability arise. The decision will be made on an individual basis, taking into account the nature and degree of the disability, as wellas a physician’s recommendation that the student may continue the program.If a student becomes pregnant while in the program the pregnancy policy in this handbook will be followed.Students must make up all missed clinic and class time. Students unable to complete assigned time commitment by end of program,will not graduate until they successfully complete class and clinical rotations.6

Exposure reports will be available for review onceprocessed via Desire2Learn. If a dose reading exceeds normal limits ( 0.125 Rem or 1.25 mSv per quarter) the student will becontacted by SIUC’s RSO or the program personnel. In the event an accidental exposure occurs, the student must notify the ProgramDirector regarding the incident. The Program Director will work with the Radiation Safety Officer and make a plan of action for theevent. If the badge is lost, damaged, or any other concerns, please contact the Program Director.Direct Supervision PolicyAll procedures performed by a student while at clinical must be directly supervised by a qualified practitioner. This individual willreview the procedure in relation to the student’s achievement, evaluates the condition of the patient in relation to the student’sknowledge, is present during the procedure, and reviews and approves the procedure. All clinical work performed by a student mustbe checked prior to clinical implementation. Anytime a student is having direct contact with a patient, facility personnel must bepresent.Corrective Action and Grievance ProcessThe Medical Dosimetry Program Director must address issues in which the student fails to follow dosimetry program curriculumguidelines or university policies.If issue is related to curriculum or clinical policy, Program Director determines necessary course of action and presents to student. If student wishes to appeal the Program Director’s decision, the student may contact the Director of the School of HealthSciences at 618-453-8860. Grievance procedures are possible through the College of Applied Sciences and Arts GrievanceCommittee.If the student wishes to contact the Joint Review Committee Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) regarding a situationthey may do so with the following information: All JRCERT Standards for Accreditation are listed on their website as well.JRCERT20 N.
