Simulation Labs
The simulation labs at St. John’s University replicate real clinical environments, allowing students to practice their skills in a controlled setting. These labs are equipped with phantoms and mannequins that mimic human anatomy, enabling students to practice positioning techniques, image acquisition, and image processing. The simulation labs also provide students with the opportunity to encounter and troubleshoot common technical challenges they may face in clinical settings. By providing a safe and controlled environment for students to experiment and learn, the simulation labs enhance their confidence and competence in performing radiographic procedures.
Immersive Learning Experiences
St. John’s University’s state-of-the-art facilities enhance students’ learning experiences by providing them with immersive opportunities. For example, the program may utilize virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) technology to simulate various clinical scenarios. This immersive learning approach allows students to practice critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving skills in a realistic yet controlled environment. By incorporating these innovative technologies, the program prepares students to adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of radiologic technology.
Professional Development Opportunities
Recognizing the importance of lifelong learning and professional development, St. John’s University offers various opportunities for students to enhance their knowledge and skills beyond the classroom. The program organizes workshops, seminars, and conferences, inviting industry experts to share their insights and expertise.
