HARD COPY outlet Complete Radiologic Technology Concepts Guide Book

***THIS LISTING IS FOR A HARD COPY OF THE FULL GUIDE BOOK****

It includes everything the Digital Download option does but in a hard copy format.
It is wire coil bound which is sturdier and allows pages to be folded back 360-degrees.
It is printed on heavy duty gloss paper in full color. This allows vibrant color of material as well as reduces the wear and tear over time as compared to printer paper and ink commonly used in home printers.

The Complete Radiologic Technology Concept Guide *A collection of all the essential RT Concepts current students will need or recent graduates will need to review without needing to search through 2 years of their notes to find the main ideas. I created this using all of my notes from my time as a student and put them into a layout keeping multiple learning types in mind, providing visuals and colors along with often difficult ideas, to keep any reader focused and engaged.


*****DESCRIPTION:
The Radiologic Technology Concepts Guide Book provides a unique approach to learning the concepts essential to radiography. This book is a complete resource to facilitate learning at any stage of the Radiologic Technologists career. From being a supplemental guide for current students that are searching for assistance in learning recently taught concepts, or a one-stop resource for recent graduates in search of all the need-to-know concepts to review for their national registry exam. The contents have been broken down into 23 easy to manage sections to prevent students from being overloaded with information all at once.


•A unique approach to learning Radiologic Technology concepts.

•This Book was created to provide Radiologic Technologists a complete resource to facilitate learning at any stage of their careers.

•A supplemental resource for current students to help understand recently taught concepts throughout their programs.

•A one-stop resource for recent graduates to review only the need-to-know information to successfully study for their National Registry Exam. Broken down into 23 easy to manage sections to prevent students becoming overwhelmed.

•An essential resource for clinical instructors, teachers or current techs looking to review concepts before their 10-year test.

•The layout was created with multiple learning types in mind allowing the reader to build on previous knowledge while keeping them focused and engaged for optimal success.

•Pictures, colors, and layout allow readers to look at the big picture first or to look at smaller pieces and work their way out.

***THE AUTHOR:
Hi I am the creator of EpistemophiliaStudio, Melanie Jipp R.T (R) (ARRT). I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Radiologic Technology, an Associates of Arts in Psychology, and an Associates of Arts in Communication Studies. I am also a member of the Lambda Nu National Honor Society for Radiologic and Imaging Sciences in the California Alpha Gamma Pi Chapter. Initially I created one small study guide on EpistemophiliaStudio, whose motto “Love of Knowledge” blossomed into something larger. I developed this guide book to share my love of learning and to pay it forward by helping students still working toward their own goals. My driving motto in the creation of this book has been "When you get to the top, don't forget to reach back for those that are still climbing".
