This course is composed of both a didactic and laboratory component. Didactic sessions will employ a Socratic method of instruction, presenting baseline skills associated with proper patient positioning for the acquisition of conventional radiographic films commonly performed in a Chiropractor’s office. Laboratory sessions provide a hands-on approach to learning. In the lab, each student will practice and demonstrate efficient patient positioning and employ proper radiation safety protocols through effective communication. By the end of the course, the learner should be able to demonstrate proficiency in the setup of conventional radiographs of the spine, upper extremity, and lower extremity.
