Various weekly rotations at the Med Center include: Outpatient Clinic, Surgery, the Emergency Room, Fluoroscopy and going on portable x-ray exams to in-patients&#8217; rooms. Students get to also rotate to other Omaha hospitals like the Veterans Affairs Hospital (VA), Creighton Medical Center, Clarkson, and Children&#8217;s Hospital and Medical Center. There is also the option to complete a one or two week rotation at a rural hospital during the summer semester. Students get the opportunity to work with many different technologists and see diverse exams.<\/p>\n<p>While everyone is usually busy studying and going to clinic, there is still time to relax out with new friends.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_183\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-183\" class=\"size-full wp-image-183\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.unmc.edu\/alliedhealth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2009\/03\/radstudents.jpg\" alt=\"Radiography Students in the Bennett Hall Reading Room.\" width=\"720\" height=\"593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.unmc.edu\/alliedhealth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2009\/03\/radstudents.jpg 720w, https:\/\/blog.unmc.edu\/alliedhealth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2009\/03\/radstudents-300x247.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Radiography Students in the Bennett Hall Reading Room.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>submitted by Ellie Jorgensen, student in the Radiography program at UNMC, class of 2009 A day in the life of a radiography student usually involves time split between classroom\/online classes and clinic.
