title: Professional growth and contribution in radiologic technology: can it be taught?
abstract: The competency-based education project, as it was carried out in the Radiologic Technology Division at The Ohio State University, describes in some detail the competencies within the contributor role, as well as in technologist, educator, and manager. The domain amplifications of these competencies, giving knowledge, skills, and attitudes, revealed some lacks in the curriculum in the teaching of attitudes and related skills. The response to this lack has been to prepare a plan for incorporating such teaching into the program. It is hoped that this plan will result in strengthening the students' performance in personal and professional growth, and in contribution to the profession over the years.
