Education
The **BS Radiologic Technology program at Davao Doctors College** is a **four-year allied health degree** that prepares students to become licensed radiologic technologists who are trained in medical imaging and radiation-based diagnostics. The program combines **classroom learning, laboratory training, and hospital-based clinical education** to develop both technical skills and professional competence in healthcare. Students are trained in the principles and practice of **diagnostic imaging and radiation science**, including areas such as **general radiography (X-ray), CT scan, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy concepts**, along with radiation safety and patient care. The program also builds strong foundations in **human anatomy, physiology, pathology, radiologic physics, positioning techniques, and image evaluation**. ([Polytechnic College of Davao del Sur][1]) A major part of the program is the **Clinical Education Training (internship) during the fourth year**, where students are deployed to accredited hospitals and diagnostic centers. Here, they gain hands-on experience in actual radiology departments, working under supervision and learning real-world procedures such as patient positioning, image acquisition, equipment handling, and radiation protection practices. ([Polytechnic College of Davao del Sur][1]) The program also emphasizes **professional values and competencies**, including patient-centered care, ethical practice, teamwork in healthcare settings, and strict adherence to radiation safety standards. Graduates are expected to be competent in both technical performance and compassionate patient interaction. After completing the degree and passing the licensure examination, graduates can work as **Radiologic Technologists** in hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, clinics, or specialize further in fields like CT, MRI, or radiation therapy.
The TESDA Healthcare Services NC II (also closely related to Caregiving NC II and Basic Nursing Care training programs) is a technical-vocational course designed to prepare learners to provide basic patient care and assist healthcare professionals in hospitals, clinics, and community settings. The program focuses on developing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to deliver safe, effective, and compassionate care to patients, including the elderly, children, and individuals with special healthcare needs. It covers basic nursing assistance, personal care, infection control, and patient support services, making graduates competent to work as nursing aides, caregivers, hospital assistants, or health care support workers.
