For Applicants and Students Enrolled in the Radiologic Technology Program

If a student does suspect she is pregnant before entering or while enrolled in the program and chooses to declare her pregnancy, she is allowed to make an informed decision based on her individual needs and preferences. The University offers the following options:

Written notice of voluntary declaration: the female student would provide written notification of the pregnancy to the program director. It would indicate the expected due date. If the student chooses to disclose her pregnancy, she must immediately notify the Clinical Coordinator and the Program Director. The student will be provided with Regulatory Guide 8.13 Instruction Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure with its appendix of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The student must then sign a witnessed "Attest" form that was read and discussed. In the absence of this voluntary, written disclosure, a student cannot be considered pregnant.

The student will also be required to follow the National Council on Radiation Protection and measurement (NCRP) dose limits for the embryo and fetus in occupational exposed women, which is no more than 0.05 REM (500 mREM) during the entire gestational period and no more than 0.05 REM (500 mREM) in any month, both with respect to the fetus. It is the policy of the program to instruct all students on radiation protection procedures with respect to the embryo/fetus.

Voluntary declaration has the following options:

1. Continuing the educational program with modification in clinical assignments. The program would offer clinical component options such as clinical reassignments from areas such as fluoroscopy, mobile procedures and nuclear medicine.

   The student who chooses to disclose her pregnancy and continue at the clinical site will be required to wear an additional dosimeter for fetal dose measurement if the clinical site does not provide a dosimeter for her.

    Any time missed from clinical education must be made up per the attendance policy. Graduation depends on the student meeting all didactic and clinical requirements.

2.  Continuing the educational program without modification in clinical assignment or interruption. The clinical coordinator would maintain the standard clinical rotations through all areas.
3.  Leave of absence from the program: If the student takes a leave of absence from the program, the place of re-entry would depend on many factors. Students may be placed at the beginning of the program or somewhere within the program based on their academic and clinical status and standing when leaving.

Option for written withdrawal of declaration: A student may withdraw declaration of pregnancy at any time during the pregnancy. The revocation of pregnancy declaration notifies the program of the student’s choice to revoke her previous election to apply federal and/or state radiation dose limits to an embryo/fetus as a condition of her radiation related clinical experiences in the program.

Neither 91���� Ashtabula Campus nor the student's assigned Clinical Education Setting will be responsible for radiation injury to the student or the embryo/fetus if the student chooses to continue in the program during pregnancy.
