N2  - ABSTRACT -- The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical skills of the radiologic technology interns
from the 2023-2024 batch, focusing on technical skills, patient care, critical thinking,
problem-solving, professionalism, collaboration, and educational progress. The study was
carried out in the host hospitals, which are associated with Emilio Aguinaldo College in
Cavite. The respondents of the study were 40 interns of Radiologic Technology from GenTri
Doctors, EAC MC, South Imus Specialist, and Pagamutan ng Dasma and were chosen
through the purposive sampling. The data reveals that the respondents demonstrate a
moderate level of competency in technical skills with the mean of 2.98. Meanwhile, in the
two key aspects of patient care: communication and patient positioning and comfort, interns
had moderate clinical competency supported by the means of 3.03 and 2.98, while having
high clinical competency on radiation safety skill with the mean of 3.35. Based on the
provided data, the respondents exhibit moderate competence in adaptability and critical
analysis with a mean score of 2.75 and 2.85, respectively. Interns demonstrate high clinical
competency in ethical conduct and moderate level of competency in teamwork with 3.33 and
3.03 mean scores respectively. Lastly, the study implies that there is a positive and linear
relationship between clinical competence and theoretical learning, with higher levels of
clinical competence corresponding to higher levels of theoretical learning or vice versa.
Overall, the study found that radiologic technologist interns demonstrated moderate to high
competency in many domains of clinical competency, indicating that they have the necessary
proficiency for the actual work demands
