Abstract

A descriptive research design was used, and data were gathered using a self-made questionnaire. The purposive sampling technique was used in the selection of the 43 participants. Research participants are the alumni of DLSMHSI SHS-SHS, currently taking BSRT during the conduct of study and have undergone an immersion program in CMIT. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, median, Z-test, Mann-Whitney U Test and Kruskall Wallis H-Test were used for data analysis. Based on the data gathered, the study showed that the majority of the respondents are female, and there was an equal number of first-year and third-year students. Respondents' assessment of the radiologic technology immersion program in terms of laboratory facilities and equipment, teaching method, and relevant learning experiences are excellent, and yields a verbal interpretation of conditions are made extensive. There are also no significant differences in the assessment of radiologic technology immersion programs when the respondents are grouped according to sex. First-year students have better assessment of the RT immersion program compared to second-year students. The study also finds out that immersion program influenced the students to pursue the RT course through providing detailed background and information, thorough discussion of the scope and role of radiologic technologists in clinical settings, and showing that RT is an interesting course.
