This is a 2 year program with classes beginning Fall of every year continuing for a total of 7 quarters and includes the Summer quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a monthly Information Session to answer questions regarding the NDT program and how to gain admittance. (Please see \u201cInformation Sessions\u201d for dates and times.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enrollment is currently limited to a maximum of 12 students per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NDT admission requirements include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notification of acceptance into this limited enrollment program will precede the opening Fall quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All required program activities occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., seven days per week. Lecture courses will either be in the classroom or online. As we do not control when off-site facilities require the presence of our students, all students must plan their schedule to be fully available to whatever time-schedule outside clinics request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your instructors will be physicians and registered ND Technologists currently working in the field. It is necessary to schedule all classes to accommodate their availability. Once classes begin, however, class times will not change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most classroom courses will be held on the Bellevue College campus. Clinical experiences will be at local hospitals and under the supervision of a registered ND Technologist. During the program, students will rotate to different clinical sites. Students must have reliable transportation to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a 7-quarter program that includes a summer session. The program starts in September and ends two years later in June. All core courses are taken in sequence with all students moving through the program as a cohort. There are short breaks between quarters and a longer break over the December holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the clinical experience students will be under considerable physical and emotional stress as they undertake responsibilities and duties that impact patients\u2019 lives. Students need to be able to demonstrate rational and appropriate behavior under stressful conditions. To successfully complete this program, all students need to be able to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students must maintain a \u2018C\u2019 or higher in all courses to remain in the NDT program at Bellevue College. Please read each syllabus carefully to determine the grading requirements for each course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experience has shown that students find this an extremely difficult program. Based on their experience and recommendations students should not work or take any additional classes while enrolled in this program. Students who study an additional three hours \u201coutside class\u201d for every hour spent \u201cinside class\u201d more successfully achieve the course\u2019s learning outcomes. (Example: a 4-credit class requires four hours of classroom instruction per week. This equates to 12 hours of additional weekly study \u201coutside the classroom.\u201d Multiplying the first quarter\u2019s work of 15 credits (equating to 15 hours of instruction every week) by three hours, one gets an additional 45 hours of \u201coutside class\u201d study time. This means a total of 60 hours per week (15 hours + 45hours) dedicated to successfully completing the first quarter\u2019s work. That is in excess of a full-time job!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, you will need your medical scrubs starting mid winter quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
