The Medical Imaging Program produces graduate diagnostic radiographers qualified to work in X-ray departments within hospitals and private clinics within the UAE.

Students study Life and Behavioral sciences, English and computing in addition to specialized radiographic courses. These Specialized courses include radiographic anatomy, radiographic positioning, radiographic procedures and radiation physics. The emphasis is on students gaining practical skills that can be transferred  to the work place. To assist the development of such skills, the colleges have well-equipped X-ray laboratory  where students are able to practice their positioning techniques using a working X-ray machine, film duplicator and film library.

The X-ray Lab

To gain real-life experience, students in Year 2 and Year 3 spend part of the their week rotating around the various government and private, hospitals and centers. Here they are able to expand their knowledge and become familiar with specialized Medical Imaging equipment such as MRI, CT and ultrasound. Importantly the clinical rotations offer the students opportunities to interact with real patients and their families.

During level 6 the students complete a two-month work placement where they work full time within a hospital before completing the Program. This benefits the students greatly by increasing their expertise and confidence before graduation.
