91074 - Internship II (RN)

Learning outcomes

The student progressively develops, initially under supervision and subsequently independently, the ability to produce high-quality CT images in patients undergoing CT examinations, both with and without contrast agents, covering all anatomical systems and the central nervous system.
The student also acquires the capability to perform clinical activities in the settings of hemodynamics, diagnostic and interventional angiography.
Furthermore, the student develops appropriate interpersonal and communication skills required for the clinical training environment.
