Bachelor’s Degree of Science (BSc.) in Medical Imaging Technology (MIT)

The Bachelor Degree Program in Medical Imaging Technology (BSc. in MIT) is aimed to prepare candidates to diagnose a broad range of medical conditions through the state-of-the-art medical technology used in diagnostic medical imaging. It also equips students with the knowledge and necessary skills. In addition, the program suffices adequate training equipment for the practical hands-on application of the various program courses.

The Program’s duration is five years. During the first year (2 semesters), a foundation program of different courses is administered to students, including the English language, basic sciences as well as the set preparatory program. The following three years (6 semesters) are allocated for the intensive study of the specialty prerequisite courses of the Program to maintain that candidates acquire the scientific knowledge, specialty skills, ethical and professional values. On the other hand, the fifth year is the supervised practice year (Internship Year), during which students are trained in a hospital under the supervision of competent professionals and in accordance with the applicable training scheme of the Internship Year.

    Attained Skills are to:

• Provide students with the knowledge, clinical skills, and up to bar behavior necessary for work duties in medical imaging units

• Promote graduates’ skills, such as effective communication skills, critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed for professional practices.

• Implement the knowledge of medical diagnosis and promote its competitiveness and accuracy.

• Follow the regulations of radiation protection rules and precautions for the sake of the safety of patients, specialists, and others involved.

• Provide basic health care and relief to all patients.

• Tackle and provide solutions to challenging problems; display critical thinking skills in medical and academic settings.

• Demonstrate essential therapeutic efficiency in using advanced medical imaging technology such as Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) in medical imaging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine scans.

• Demonstrate an adequate awareness and application of practical planning through the use of information sources to achieve the organizational goals of health institutions and improve overall performance.

Clinical Training

Male and female students training is considered an essential pillar for Al-Ghad International College for Applied Medical Sciences’ standards in the achievement and completion of the educational, training and academic process. Training ensures qualifying our male and female students in order to seize the right employment opportunity, as well as to sufficiently prepare them for the labor market. Training is performed under the supervision of specialists in this field. Moreover, partnership agreements are concluded with hospitals and health centers.

Accordingly, a specialized unit has been established in each campus for the purpose of supervising the students’ training. The unit seeks to provide appropriate training opportunities that are in alignment with the academic and clinical standards. Training is provided throughout the period of study and during the internship year. Distinguished and well-reputed hospitals and medical centers as well have been selected for training male and female students.
