Radiography<br>students are given the opportunity to<br>&nbsp;experience a variety of imaging modalities<br>that have changed quite rapidly in the past<br>5 years with the advent of Digital Technology.<br>A Radiographic Skills Laboratory is available<br>&nbsp;for students to practice positioning and imaging<br>techniques before they perform radiography on patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Radiography students are required to work<br>under supervision during the normal working<br>week days, week-ends and at night so that<br>they can experience a variety of diseases\/trauma<br>&nbsp;that patients present with and assist the clinicians<br>in making swift diagnoses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Click&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.smu.ac.za\/students\/prospective-students-undergraduate\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>&nbsp;to download application<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;form,prospectus and many more&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>relevant document you need in<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;order to apply<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The curriculum is constantly under review<br>with the \u201cstudents\u2019 voices\u201d.

To this end<br>&nbsp;a number of postgraduate Skills Laboratories<br>have been construction to assist with either<br>live or virtual skills development especially in<br>&nbsp;the surgical disciplines such as General Surgery,<br>Urology, Cardio-Thoracic Surgery and Plastics<br>&nbsp;and Reconstructive Surgery. In the near future,<br>both our undergraduate and postgraduate students<br>&nbsp;will be able to view \u201clive\u201d surgical procedures in<br>venues distant from the operating theatre.<br>A viewing gallery is under construction for<br>students to view autopsies for both medical<br>&nbsp;and forensic investigations. We endeavour<br>to ensure that our research output in all<br>fields of study continues to improve in order<br>for us to publish papers in peer-reviewed<br>journals. SMU is an organization with a<br>social conscience.
