The need for medical imaging professionals to become more prolific in critical thinking and knowledgeable in evidence-based practice increases as innovations in the field continue to increase, both technically and in terms of advanced career options. This descriptive study explores the perceptions and attitudes among two classes of undergraduate students as they progress through a four-year baccalaureate degree program in medical imaging. It delves into the exposure to research education the participants undergo and considers 5 factors prior to admission into the program and during their graduating quarter in the program. Quantitative results (survey) reveal a significant increase in research exposure, identifying faculty as the most turned to resource and a significant change on one of five factors. Supplemental qualitative results (interviews) provide insight to perceptions and attitudes toward research among participants.
