Indonesian In the context of enhancing the practical skills of students of the Radiology and Medical Imaging Technology Program at the University of Science and Technology - Main Center, Aden, a number of students of the program - third level - made a field visit to Al Noor Specialized Hospital, as part of the practical training requirements for the course “Clinical Training 1”.
The students were accompanied on this trip by the program’s field training supervisor, Ms. Hoda Ahmed Baqtada.
During this outing, the students had the opportunity to apply what they had learned in theory in real life, as they dealt with a variety of medical cases in the hospital’s X-ray department.
The training included learning about the different radiation exposure factors used in X-ray machines, such as: electrical voltage (kVp), electrical current (mA), and exposure time, and how to adjust them to suit each case to achieve the best image quality.
Students were also trained on the different positions required for radiological examination, such as: lying, standing, and sitting positions, in addition to dealing with patients with high professionalism and ensuring their comfort during the examination.
The students demonstrated a distinct ability to apply the skills they acquired theoretically in a real work environment, which enhanced their self-confidence and emphasized the importance of such practical training in building their professional future.
In the same context, Ms. Hoda Baqatada, the field training supervisor, expressed her satisfaction with the students’ performance during the internship period, noting that they showed great commitment and keenness to learn and develop. She also thanked the management of Al Noor Specialized Hospital for its continuous cooperation in providing an ideal training environment for the students.
It is worth noting that this visit is part of a series of field trainings that the Radiology and Medical Imaging Technology Program at the University of Science and Technology seeks to implement, with the aim of preparing students to work in various healthcare environments, and ensuring their readiness to meet the challenges of the profession with efficiency and professionalism.
