4 SIU RADIOLOGIC SCIENCES DIAGNOSTIC MEDICAL SONOGRAPHY PROGRAM FILM BADGE POLICY Since ultrasound does not involve ionizing radiation, SIU does not require ultrasound interns to wear film badges. Because clinical experience must be accomplished, no ultrasound student is to be involved with diagnostic radiography during clinical internship hours. If the intern has arranged employment at the clinical site on hours other than clinical internship, arrangement for the film badge is the responsibility of the employer. Should pregnancy occur during the internship, the student has the option of completing the internship after the pregnancy or signing a waiver of responsibility and completing the internship. The waiver may be obtained from the Sonography Program Director. I have read and understand the above policy. Intern s Signature Clinical Supervisor s Signature
