Competencies Break Down

11-19 Comps Each comp has a point system based on

how many views. 1 View worth 30 points 2 views is worth 60 points 3 views is worth 90 points Etc…

The view break down

Each view is divided into sections 3 major things

• Shield

• Marker in light field and the correct marker

• Right cassette

You will have a repeat if you forget one of these 3 things

Repeats

If you have a repeat it will result in a 10% deduction in your grade

So instead of 100 being the highest 90 is the highest you can make.

Each repeat for a single comp (wrist) will be a 10% deduction

2nd repeat 80, 3rd = don’t pass fail lab. There are only 6 repeats allowed total.

Repeats

A repeat will be given on failure to complete 3 major things

A score lower than 75 And on your third reschedule, you can

reschedule twice.

The rest of the comp is divided into sections by points

The first film correctly. That means if it placed correctly

Second, correct distance (40SID) Third, tube is angled or not Forth, the CR is correct Collimation, Light on table, or if you have set it

according to cassette size if it is the bucky, or you don’t collimate at all

Measures and set technical factors- I want to know a starting technique and if this patient is average size and if not how you will adjust tech.

Patient position- is the patient part correctly centered to IR and if the view is correctly position to see the information needed.

Equipment and handling- knowing your equipment.

How everything works, all the locks and buttons.

Lining up the light with the cassette.

Confidence and ease- How well you know your views and long it takes to perform them.

I can tell if you haven’t prepared for your comp. I will deduct points for lack of preparation and going over time limit

If the comp is worth 30 points and you miss 3 points on your comp. You will take and divide the number missed by the total possible

27/30 =90 at of a possible 100 You will receive a 90 for that comp

The total for all comps will be 1900 points.

I will then take and total all the grades from each comp together and divide by the total points to get your comp grade(65%)

Example

94 96 90 85 100 75 95 97 91 92 89

1004/1100 = 91.2 91

91 is 65 % of total grade

Quizzes

10% of grade

On average we have 4 quizzes

Each quiz is 100 points

Total quizzes is 400 points

I the divide total of quizzes by 400 to get the quiz grade

Example

Quiz one 3/5 =60 Quiz two 5/5 =100 Quiz three 4/5= 80 Quiz four 0/5 =0 Total for quizzes 240/400 = 60 60 is 10% of your grade

Final (Comprehensive)

One view final worth 30 points Miss three 27/30 = 90 90 is 25% of Grade If you forget one of the three things you

will drop to a 69 plus other points missed for your grade

Average all together

Comps 91 (65%) 91 times 65%=59.1 Quizzes 60 (10%) 60 times 10%=6 Final 90 (25%) 90 times 25%=22.5

Total 87.65 88 for Lab Grade

Every one Must take the final. If you refuse to take the final it will result

in a zero for the grade.
