The Emblem
The Emblem of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences is a symbolic expression
of the confluence of both Eastern and Western Health Sciences. A central wand with entwined
snakes symbolises Greek and Roman Gods of Health called Hermis and Mercury is adapted as
symbol of modern medical science. The pot above depicts Amrutha Kalasham of Dhanvanthri the
father of all Health Sciences. The wings above it depicts Human Soul called Hamsa (Swan) in
Indian philosophy. The rising Sun at the top symbolises knowledge and enlightenment. The two
twigs of leaves in western philosophy symbolises Olive branches, which is an expression of
Peace, Love and Harmony. In Hindu Philosophy it depicts the Vanaspathi (also called as
Oushadi) held in the hands of Dhanvanthri, which are the source of all Medicines. The lamp at the
bottom depicts human energy (kundalini). The script “Devahitham Yadayahu” inside the lamp is
taken from Upanishath Shanthi Manthram (Bhadram Karnebhi Shrunuyanadev…), which says
“May we live the full span of our lives allotted by God in perfect health” which is the motto of the
Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences.

IV Year BSc. Medical Imaging Technology
INTERNSHIP
A student after having successfully completed the final year university examination is
qualified to commence the Compulsory Rotatory Internship. The completion of Internship is
mandatory to enable a student to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Medical Imaging Technology.
Aims:
The internship program is designed to facilitate the transition from student hood to becoming a
competent professional. It is meant to instill in the students clinical practice skills, which would
encompass the following qualities:
• Sense of timing.
• Work behaviors, roles and routines
• Communication and interaction skills with patients, colleagues, supervisors & other
professionals of multidisciplinary team.
• Ability to take certain independent decisions exercising their clinical judgment.
• Ability to deal with a critical situation using analytical skills.
• Successful completion of the internship program will facilitate the students to become
competent independent Medical Imaging Technologists.
Procedure:
• After the 3rd year BSc. MIT University Examination results are declared, the candidate
has to obtain no-dues clearance from various departments and sections as prescribed by
the University.
• On submission of the no dues clearance to the college office, a No Dues slip will be
issued to the student.
• The student should submit the no due slip to the Head of Medical Imaging Technology. •
Faculty in charge will give the Clinical posting schedule & Guidelines for internship
program.
73
• The intern should dress appropriately in the clinical areas (Men in trousers and shirt,
women in salwar suits).
• It is mandatory for the intern to wear the white apron with nametag when in the clinical
area.
• The intern will get a monthly stipend.
• The intern will be allowed to attend the National Conference, leave will be granted only
for the days of conference and travel days. • Any other leave declared by the University
for the students will not apply to the interns.
