Student Comfort With Medical Educational Modeling in Radiologic Technology Education.

Radiologic technology students must develop proficiency in patient positioning to achieve clinical competence, and many educational programs incorporate medical educational modeling (MEM) as a hands-on pedagogical approach to support this learning. This quantitative study, part of a larger research...

      ab: Radiologic technology students must develop proficiency in patient positioning to achieve clinical competence, and many educational programs incorporate medical educational modeling (MEM) as a hands-on pedagogical approach to support this learning. This quantitative study, part of a larger research project, explored radiologic technology students' comfort levels with MEM across various roles and demographic factors. Using a validated survey instrument, data were collected from students enrolled in accredited baccalaureate-level programs. Overall, students reported high comfort levels with MEM; however, statistically significant differences emerged in specific contexts, particularly related to religious affiliation, age, and observer role experiences. These findings suggest that although MEM is generally well-received, educators should remain attentive to individual student experiences and demographic influences when designing and implementing MEM-based instruction. Reflective teaching practices that prioritize student comfort may enhance learning outcomes and foster more inclusive educational environments in radiologic technology programs.
