Why doesn the radiologic technology profession standardize everything so that there are not differences between programs?
That would take local control away from educational institutions for determining the best way to provide qualified radiographers for their area radiology departments. Because of local control, much of the differences between programs can be attributed to the logic of the curriculum builders (the program manager, clinical coordinators / educators, state education officials, institutional curriculum committee members, etc.) who do their best to assemble a relevant and cost effective competency-based subject matter radiography curriculum. And, since not all local control manpower and training circumstances are the same, including the curriculum developers, most radiography programs tend to be different. For a serious discussion on several important ways that an associate degree curriculum in radiography may be organized and implemented, please refer to “Chapter 5: Developing the Associate Degree Curriculum in Radiography,” by O. Gary Lauer that was published in the multi-authored textbook
