| The X-Ray Skills for Medical Laboratory Technologists program is a four (4) semester post-diploma program offering training in basic radiography to Medical Laboratory Technologists who are presently practicing in one of the regional health authorities in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The program emphasizes a practical approach to developing the knowledge and skills necessary to perform limited general radiography. Students learn how to interpret requisitions from requesting physicians, provide quality patient care, and operate sophisticated radiation emitting devices to produce images of the skeletal, digestive, respiratory or urinary systems. Combined Laboratory and X-Ray (LX) Technologists practice within the standards set by the provincial Scope of Practice. |
