Students may be exposed to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during their clinic rotations. It is imperative to understand and comply with safety and screening protocols that reflect current American College of Radiology (ACR) MRI safety guidelines. Completion of the MRI orientation and screening tool is required prior to starting clinic rotations. If the student has a status change after initial completion of the screening tool (any surgeries, body modifications, injury involving metal; refer to MRI screening form for a more complete list), they are required to notify the program by contacting their clinical coordinator or program director immediately. If a student does not pass the MRI screening process, they must obtain the necessary medical clearance before they can participate in their MRI rotation. If a student is unable to obtain MRI clearance, they may be ineligible to participate in their assigned clinical rotation which may affect the student's course grade and/or graduation eligibility.
