The profession of Radiographers (Radiology Medical Technician) finds application in the following four specific areas:

• Diagnostic radiology
• Nuclear Medicine
• Radiotherapy
• Health Physics

Therefore also the path of studies is divided into the aforementioned areas, plus a cross-sectional area containing common knowledge. The area of Radiodiagnostics, including different specialties from each other, is structured along a path that is articulated along all three years, as well as the transversal area. The training course is therefore articulated, in the 3 years, as follows: 1st YEAR Aimed at providing the fundamental physical-chemical knowledge, physiological anatomy, pathology, hygiene and health protection legislation and protectionism as well as the principles of professional discipline as requirements to face the first internship experience, aimed at the acquisition of basic skills and orientation of the student to the professional field of diagnostic radiology. 2nd YEAR Aimed at deepening knowledge in the field of diagnostic radiology and image formation. Acquisition of the Medical Nuclear knowledge and deepening in the field of clinical specialties of imaging diagnostic applications. Acquisition of knowledge and skills aimed at ensuring the verification of the quality of diagnostic services. Deepening of issues related to image management and processing and teleradiology systems. More training experiences are provided in the contexts in which the student can experience the knowledge, methodologies and techniques learned. 3rd YEAR Acquisition and deepening of Radiotherapy knowledge. Acquisition of knowledge aimed at obtaining specific skills in the management of user assistance and first aid. Outline of health management, organization and psychology aimed at improving the ability to work in teams and in complex organizational contexts. The relevance assigned to the internship experiences is increased in the 3rd year, where the student can experience a gradual assumption of autonomy and responsibility with the supervision of experts. This curricular logic also materializes in the choice of credits assigned to internship experiences which gradually increase from the 1st to the 3rd year.    

Prerequisites

The prerequisites needed by students who wish to enroll in the Degree course in techniques of medical radiology for images and radiotherapy are:

Possession of a study title that meets one of the following criteria:

Candidates enrolled in the last year of secondary school can also participate in the selections at the state and private school institutions of the Italian education system or at a foreign secondary education institution that allows the achievement of a valid qualification for admission to courses of higher education of the Italian system with the condition, if the test results are positive, to present the diploma or qualification just obtained at the time of the subsequent enrolment to the courses, under penalty of exclusion from the list of admitted candidates. Students already in possession of an academic degree (obtained in Italy or abroad) and those who come from another degree course or university degree are required to observe the same procedures indicated in this call for applications and take part in the admission test.

EU Candidates

Entry to the Master’s Degree Course in Medicine and Surgery and to the other courses of Medical School is regulated by a multiple choice written admission test. UniCamillus admission test consists of a written test in Italian, composed of sixty multiple choice questions of logical reasoning (20), general knowledge (5), biology (10), chemistry (10), physics (10) and mathematics (5), which have five response options, among which the candidate must identify only one, discarding the wrong, arbitrary or less likely conclusions. The test will last 70 minutes. Following the completion of the test, a single ranking list based on the score achieved by each candidate in the admission test will be drawn up.

Non EU candidates

The entry test for all Degree Courses is the UCAT test. Entry to the Master’s Degree Course in Medicine and Surgery and to the other courses of Medical School is regulated by a multiple choice written admission test and a speaking test. The UCAT is developed and delivered by the UKCAT Consortium. Information regarding test content and how to prepare for the test can be found here (www.ukcat.ac.uk). UCAT is a computer-based test to be taken at certified test centres (see Annex 1) and lasts two hours. The test consists of five separate sections to be passed within a set time and each consists of a series of multiple choice questions. Additional time is granted to candidates with proven disabilities or particular medical conditions.

UCAT test assessment

The overall assessment is obtained by summing the scores of the Verbal Reasoning, Decision-making, Quantitative Reasoning, Abstract Reasoning sections. The “Situational Assessment” section is not relevant for the final score. For details on the modalities of the UCAT test, please visit www.ukcat.ac.uk. UniCamillus draws up the final ranking based on the results scored in the UCAT test.

Professors office hours calendar

Professors receive students upon appointment (book via e-mail) according to:

I.C. Biological and biochemical foundations of living systems

I.C. Anatomy, histology and human physiology

Actors of the Quality Assurance process
The Quality Assurance Group (QA) is chaired by the Director of the Degree Course or by the President, who is the Responsible for the Quality of the Course; it ensures the proper and regular performance of the activities, in coordination with the Academic Quality Assurance and with the QA referents of the University.

The QA contributes to the design, implementation and verification of the activities of the Degree Course

The Review Group performs the following functions:
a) identifying the improvements, reporting the person in charge and specifying the deadlines and the indicators that allow verifying the degree of implementation;
b) verifying the achievement of the objectives pursued or identifying any reasons for a failure or partial achievement;
c) drafting the Annual Monitoring Report (AMR), which is sent to the Evaluation Unit and the Academic Quality Assurance through the University Quality Office.

TRANSITIONAL PHASE
During the statutory transitional phase, in order to facilitate the start-up phase of the QA System, UniCamillus considered it functional to choose the appointment at the level of each Degree Course of the only Quality Assurance Group, which is also called to perform the functions of the Review Group.
The QA has the task of monitoring the progress of the Degree Course management and of drafting the Annual Monitoring Report and the cyclical review report (RCC) in collaboration with the President of the Teaching Committee.
