Diagnostic Medical Imaging – Radiology Add NEW Course – Effective Summer 2024: Follow up from March 22, 2024 C&P Meeting CTMT 1391 Special Topics in Computed Tomography Technology/Technician (3-3-0) – with one topic course: Computed Tomography Registry Review; adding to meet community needs for a fast-track credentialing review for computed tomography technologists for area hospitals and clinics Presented and conditionally approved at March 22, 2024 Curriculum and Programs Committee meeting: This course will be a standalone course/not part of an award; it is granted funded and will be a petition only course. Elizabeth checked with VC Gaye Lynn to verify that a standalone course is permissible. It was confirmed that there are a limited number of instances when this is acceptable with the caveat that it is petition only, for a specific need, and would not have implications for Financial Aid.

The hours are too large. THECB requires Level 1 certificates to be below 770 (?) hours. Lisa Brown stated there are state mandated testing requirements after the coursework portion before a student can move forward to the Pathway Certificate. All students have a BA before entering the program. Concerns were raised that the THECB will deny the request and the division needs to have an alternative path forward if that happens. Motion: Cathy Angel motioned with the stipulation that if it is denied the division will have an alternative plan.

Program is expiring three OSAs. Program grew during the pandemic so it is harder to track the different OSAs so needs to simplify.
