Interviews & Selection

Personal Interviews

All prospective students are REQUIRED to have a personal interview. You will be notified after the application deadline regarding your interview time. Please call the education director at (801) 585-6753 to arrange a convenient time for interview and travel, if you live out of state.

Interviews for each program will take place at the following times:

  • Nuclear Medicine: January – March
  • MRI, CT and IR: Approximately 2 months before the start of the next session unless otherwise requested.

Selection

A committee from each area will select the students for the next academic session. Selection will be based on the following considerations:

  • Overall GPA
  • Pre-requisite courses GPA
  • Scores on reference forms
  • Interview scores
  • Career goals

Selection is generally completed by April 15th for the nuclear medicine program. MRI, CT, and IR students will be selected by May 1st for the July session and November 1st for the January session.

Department Tours/Observations

Brief department tours will be conducted during the allotted interview time, and for those who have traveled from out of state, a longer length of time will be devoted to ensure that all questions are answered. Observation times where the prospective student watches a technologist during their work day must be scheduled during a separate time. Interview days accommodate several students and observation during this time impacts the technologist's attention. The exception to this is with out-of-state students who travel long distances for an interview. For these students, at the time your interview is made let the education director know that you would like to do some observation so that this can be accommodated.
