The certificate in Vascular Interventional (VI) Radiography formally prepares the Imaging Technologist registered or certified in Radiologic Technology to work in a VIR Imaging lab. All courses in this certificate program are a part of the Radiation & Imaging Sciences (RAIS) degree program and may be counted towards completion of a Bachelors of Applied Science at Bellevue College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Approximately 10-15 certificate students are admitted each admissions cycle to this program. The curriculum begins each fall and spring quarter. Classes are completed online in 4-6 quarters, depending on start quarter and course load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program consists of 4 didactic courses totaling 18 credits and one – 12 credit clinical practicum. All didactic courses are completed online. Clinical practicums are offer the opportunity to work beside a Vascular Interventional Radiography professional at a clinical location. Clinical practicum placements are dependent upon grades, site availability, and approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curriculum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Upon completing these courses, students should be able to evaluate VIR images as related to the exam requested and the pertinent clinical information and manipulate VIR instrumentation to produce the desired image results. Additionally, students should be able to identify pertinent anatomy on images in all of the various planes and relate pertinent pathology to appropriate scan protocols. These didactic courses are designed to prepare students to sit for the Advanced Certification exam administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinical practicums are designed to provide students with the opportunity to complete required clinical competencies as identified by the America Registry of Radiologic Technologists. We cannot guarantee students will receive all required competencies. Students may be required to complete competencies on their own time or by completing additional clinical hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
