Abstract

Introduction: the literature available for students of Imaging and Medical Radiophysics at the Faculty of Health Technology for the subject Radiological Clinic is not in relation to the objectives and contents of the program. Objective: to evaluate the need for the basic text of the subject Radiological Clinic for students of Medical Imaging and Radiophysics at the Faculty of Health Technology in the 2021-2022 academic year. Method: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional research was carried out with a population of 60 third-year undergraduate students of Medical Imaging and Radiophysics. The only variable parameterized was the development of professional skills in students of the Bachelor's Degree in Medical Imaging and Radiophysics, which resulted in four dimensions: cognitive, procedural, attitudinal and informative, and 12 indicators. Results: the four dimensions were poorly observed between 46.6% and 60% of the respondents. The survey was dominated by responses of inadequate between 43.3% and 68.33% of respondents in the four dimensions studied.
