title: Programmatic accreditation's value.
abstract: When the elements of educational quality, radiation safety and protection of student rights are considered, the value of JRCERT accreditation is apparent. Programs can be confident that the JRCERT Standards support their educational goals and objectives. Students can be confident that the education they receive will prepare them to function as entry-level professionals as determined by national standards. Radiation therapists and radiographers can be confident their coworkers were appropriately educated and are able to fulfill the responsibilities of these professional positions. Employers across the country can be confident that graduates possess fundamental skills regardless of the JRCERT-accredited program the graduate attended. Lastly, patients can be confident that their radiographic procedures are performed competently.
