The Department of Radiological Sciences is an integral part of Applied medical colleges at the Inaya Medical Colleges that offers an undergraduate program congruent with its mission and goals as well as of the KSA vision 2030 to prepare competent and compassionate professionals in Radiological Sciences. The Department of Radiological Science (RAD) prepares students to work with all radiographic equipment, to meet the needs of the health services’ market of Saudi society. In line with the strategic direction of the IMC towards global leadership and excellence in building a knowledge society, RAD prepared its strategic plan, which aims to update its vision, mission and values, and to provide a “road map” for the future of the college over the next five years 2024-2030.
OUR STUDENTS
RAD prepares students receive the patient based on the condition and quality of radiation required for examination, conduct the examination, and then analyses radiological images using advanced computer programs. RAD was established with total number of credit hours of 136 credits needed for completion of the program. Students graduating from the RAD program are known as the Radiological science specialist and have the appropriate capabilities to develop professional relationships, be accountable, and operate safely and autonomously, with knowledgeable and ethical understanding of their profession. Students are taught that their knowledge and skills are meant to contribute to the promotion of health services for the Saudi community. This contribution involves producing qualified professionals who are capable of competing internationally in applied medical professions. Additionally, the aim is to create an environment that fosters learning and creativity, as well as to produce scientific research that contributes to the development of a knowledge society.
