Academic Guidance and Student Counseling

Peconic Bay School of Radiologic Technology’s policy states: o Academic guidance is scheduled every three months.

The Program Director meets with each student to examine the academic record and the student’s overall standing in the program. Satisfactory performance is noted on the student counseling form. In the event of a performance discrepancy, the discrepancy is:

1) Analyzed by both Student and Director

2) A collaborative effort produces a specific problem statement.

3) The appropriate action is stated including tutoring, practice, and study skills.

4) Student feedback is elicited regarding acceptance or obstacles to recommended action.

5) A time interval is agreed upon and a follow-up

6) Student and Director sign the form.

The Program Director can refer students to an outside counseling agency to aid the student.

• Peconic Bay Medical Center may refer students to “Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)” for counseling outside the hospital.
• The program is designed to assist students and employees in dealing with problems that may interfere with their health, well-being, and education. Initial consultation is free.

The Procedure

• Students are to be made aware of this policy during orientation
• If a student feels he/she is in need of outside counseling, they are to contact the Program Director.

Exit Counseling

• Exit counseling is also to be conducted at the exit interview just prior to graduation.
• At this time, the student is encouraged:

1) To continue their education
2) To participate in professional seminars and professional workshops.
3) To participate in professional societies and organization.
