title: Teaching English composition to radiologic technologists: You don't need to read Hamlet.
abstract: As the allied health degree programs move from the locus of the hospital to the college campus, the administrators and students concerned with technical curriculums are often confronted with an inexorable freshman composition requirement. However, a special course was developed for the radiologic technology program at Morris Harvey College in Charleston, West Virginia. The following article details a one-semester course plan that anyone who is currently teaching English can adapt to make freshman composition practical for those students who are not enrolled in liberal arts degree programs.
