General Information

Since 1947, Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa has offered instructional and clinical training to those who wish to become registered as radiologic technologists.

The Department of Radiology includes Diagnostic Radiology, Interventional Radiography, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound, Computed Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The department is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa School of Radiologic Technology is committed to a curriculum that provides students with the knowledge, performance skills and professional behaviors to enable them to perform the major tasks typically required of an entry level radiologic technologist.

This is a 4 semester, 2 summer session program beginning the third week of August each year. Students may spend up to 40 hours per week in the program, which includes both clinical and academic time. During the program, the student will attend clinical practice 2 weekends (4 days) and 6 weeks of evening hours. Mercy Medical Center - North Iowa is a Level II trauma hospital. We therefore feel that the student can learn much by attending clinical practice during these special hours.
