abstract: This article describes the design and implementation of a three-year distance learning program in radiologic technology. The project was a collaborative effort of the Service Employees International Union and Bunker Hill Community College in Boston, Mass. Its goal was to offer an associate degree in medical radiography to a group of students residing throughout the commonwealth of Massachusetts.
