The certificate program in computed tomography (CT) assists individuals preparing for a career as a credentialed CT technologist. The program accepts qualified individuals into a 10-month, 15-credit sequence of courses that provides students with both classroom instruction and clinical experience.
In this advanced certificate program, students gain eligibility to earn an additional credential in CT–highly attractive to potential employers.
Classes begin in the fall, with completion of classroom instruction the following spring. Completion of clinical requirements may extend beyond the spring semester as determined by individual student progress. Upon completion of both classroom instruction and clinical requirements, graduates may be eligible to sit for the national credentialing examination in computed tomography offered by the ARRT.
In accordance with ARRT's guidelines, "candidates pursuing post-primary pathway certification and registration in computed tomography (CT) must be certified and registered in radiography, nuclear medicine technology (registration through the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) is also accepted), or radiation therapy," and licensed in the State of Connecticut.
Individuals are required to be CPR-certified and must undergo a background check and drug screen prior to clinical placement.
Participation in clinical affiliations is required by certain programs to graduate. In addition to fulfilling all University of Hartford health requirements, participation in clinical affiliations is strictly contingent upon the student’s full and timely compliance with all health, immunization, and administrative requirements established by the assigned clinical site. These requirements may include, but are not limited to, proof of influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations, completion of required health screenings, submission of documentation, and adherence to all facility-specific protocols. Clinical sites exercise sole and exclusive authority over these requirements, which may change at any time without notice; the University neither controls nor waives such requirements.
