NETWORKING POLICY STATEMENT The Radiology Departments/Imaging Services Departments of each clinical affiliate have functional policies which apply to the Staff and to the students of the Columbus Technical College School of Radiologic Technology. Because of the relationship between these departments and the School of Radiography, the School Staff and Students are expected to abide by the departmental policies of each affiliate clinical site (such as patient care, customer services, equipment operation, and fire, safety, and hazardous communications).
