Any accident or incident that occurs while a student is on a clinical assignment, which results in patient, hospital personnel, or student injury, and/or damage to equipment, must be reported immediately to the Clinical Instructor and later to the Program Director. The student must cooperate with and abide by the regulations of the Clinical Affiliate and the College in dealing with any type of accident/incident. To diminish the possibility of an accident occurring, students will be instructed in the safest methods of performing routine radiographic procedures and duties, including proper handling of patients regarding bloodborne pathogens or other diseases. The clinical coordinator will discuss specifics of bloodborne pathogens at the beginning of the 1st semester and review material again during 3rd semester. Material will be posted on the Moodle site for every clinical course. Exposure to communicable diseases will also be discussed during the RAD-110 course in the 1st semester.
