The Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences (MSRS) program allows you to build the program based on your educational and professional interests. Students can focus in areas of advanced practice, education, management, research, interventional cardiology, Radiology Assistant, musculoskeletal sonography, radiology nursing, and interprofessional education (IPE).
The following emphases are available:
Cardiac Specialist
The Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences (MSRS) with emphasis in Cardiac Specialist prepares students with the knowledge and clinical skills necessary for a career in the cardiac cath lab. Students will develop analytical thinking skills and research capability while studying a wide range of disciplines including coronary and structural heart disease, multimodality cardiac imaging, and interventional cardiac catheterization. Students will learn alongside a multidisciplinary team of professionals while assisting with cath lab procedures such as angiography, hemodynamic assessment, coronary stenting, and valve implantation. Upon graduation, students will be qualified to sit for the Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist (RCIS) and/or the Cardiac Interventional Radiography (CI) exam.
The program is four (4) semesters in length, which requires the student to attend in the summer. A competency-based clinical evaluation system is utilized throughout the program. A student must achieve a predetermined level of competency in the academic and preceptor courses in order to receive grades for the course. A minimum of 24 clock hours per week of clinic education must be completed in an affiliated health care facility.
Innovation and Improvement
The Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences (MSRS) with emphasis in Innovation and Improvement is focused on elevating the imaging professional and patient care by providing students with diverse and customized skills and knowledge necessary to connect their imaging practices with policy.
Imaging professions will broaden their clinical comprehension, develop their leadership and educational expertise, enhance their research ingenuity, and extend their professional versatility within the imaging industry.
Radiologist Assistant
The Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences (MSRS) with emphasis in Radiologist Assistant prepares students to work as a Registered Radiologist Assistant (RA). The role of the RA provider is to improve efficiency and patient care in imaging services by providing advanced level support to radiologists. The curriculum incorporates the RRA certification requirements as published by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Students will learn advanced patient care, safety, and procedures through academic work and clinical experience.
