The Department of Radiography and Medical Imaging is committed to providing students with an excellent education in the field of radiography. The overall aim of the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging is to prepare students for effective and ethical professional practice in a diverse range of modern medical imaging modalities and to pursue careers in medical imaging, research and management. Students will be actively encouraged to engage in a process of life-long learning and contribute to the development of radiography as a research-based profession. In keeping with community expectations of health care professionals, a commitment to high professional standards will be expected from students. In pursuit of these goals, students will be provided with a wide range of academic and clinical experiences. In all its aspects, the course conforms to the expectations the Australian Institute of Radiography (AIR) has of its graduate practitioners. Through its policies and regulations the profession expects courses in radiography and medical imaging to prepare students to practise their profession from a scientific basis while mindful of the need to exercise a `duty of care' to their patients.
