The Department of Diagnostic Radiology employs technologists trained in all imaging modalities. We do not, however, have a training program of our own. X-ray students from the Portland Community College, Linn Benton Community College, Oregon Institute of Technology, and Pima programs and ultrasound students from the Oregon Institute of Technology program complete their externships at our hospitals and clinics. They receive exposure to the wide variety of exams and pathologies that are available at a university hospital complex. For more information about the programs, follow these links:
