title: A portrait of the radiographer of the future.
abstract: This article describes the collection of data used by a community college in developing a plan to identify and meet the educational needs of radiographers for the year 2000 and beyond. Radiography program directors in the Midwest were asked to rank seven assumptions regarding the radiographer of the future. Respondents assigned a numerical ranking to each assumption, indicated the extent of agreement or disagreement and rated the importance of that assumption to teaching, the program and the institution.
