Project work

Theoretical and practical ultrasound classes at UMANRESA

These sessions combine theory with direct practice, allowing students to understand the fundamentals of ultrasound , a key diagnostic tool in the healthcare field. Held at UMANRESA, an institution recognized for its excellence in healthcare training, students learn to operate ultrasound equipment, interpret images and understand its clinical applications in various healthcare contexts.

Theoretical and practical classes of TAC

Medical Institute for Imaging (IMI): The sessions here focus on Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) and provide a deep understanding of this imaging technology. Students learn about the technical principles of CAT, as well as its applications in medical diagnosis.

Saint Joseph Clinic

In addition to the IMI, the Clínica Sant Josep serves as another environment for hands-on learning about CT. These experiences prepare students for the management and interpretation of diagnostic images, essential in today’s medical practice.

Visits to Hospital Centers and the Dosimetry Center of Barcelona

Scheduled visits to hospital centers provide students with a glimpse into the real working environment in the healthcare sector, including the opportunity to see first-hand how documentation and diagnostic images are managed. The visit to the Barcelona Dosimetry Center, specializing in the measurement and analysis of radiation doses, offers a unique perspective on the importance of radiological safety and patient protection.

DEA – Basic Life Support and Defibrillation Certificate

Obtaining the Basic Life Support and Defibrillation Certificate issued by the Catalan Resuscitation Council and the European Resuscitation Council is a crucial part of the training. This certificate qualifies students to perform resuscitation procedures and use automated external defibrillators (AEDs), vital skills in providing medical emergency care.

Equipment and resources

The Higher Vocational Training Cycle in Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine at Joviat School is equipped with top-level infrastructure and resources to ensure a comprehensive practical and theoretical education for all students.
