The major purpose of this guide is to develop the necessary information for the writing of educational specifications to house medical x-ray technician programs. The guide is also designed to: (1) assist planners in the formation of creative housing solutions for desired educational programs, (2) prevent important considerations from being overlooked in the facility planning process, and (3) encourage logical and systematic facility planning. The guide is organized under four major parts: (1) Introduction, a discussion of purposes, assumptions, recent trends, and guiding principles, (2) The Instructional Program, information on medical x-ray technician training objectives and the kings of programs to implement them, (3) Distinct Types of Instructional Areas, the actual space desired to house the programs, and (4) Annotated Bibliography, a list of reference sources.
