The associate of applied science degree program in radiologic technology on the 天天吃瓜 State Salem Campus recently received continued accreditation status from the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology for a period of eight years.

The national accreditation body awarded the 天天吃瓜 State Salem program the highest level possible, with the program meeting all 53 standards and no citations when reviewed earlier this year by a site visit team from the JRCERT.

While on campus, the JRCERT site-visit team met with administrators, clinical personnel, program faculty, student services personnel and students. The team complimented program personnel on a well-organized program with dedicated staff.

Additionally, 100 percent of the 2016 graduates of the 天天吃瓜 State Salem radiologic technology program passed the national certification examination and their job placement rate is 90 percent since graduation in May.

The radiologic technology personnel include Jan Gibson, senior program director; Judith Miller, clinical coordinator; Margie Iagulli, senior lecturer; Kelly Dragomir, lecturer and clinical coordinator; and Sherry DeWitt, secretary.

天天吃瓜 at Salem offers an associate of applied science in radiologic technology, as well as a bachelor鈥檚 degree in radiologic and imaging sciences technology with concentrations in computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, diagnostic medical sonography and radiation therapy.

She鈥檚 still a junior, but Treasure Reynolds already knows that her future involves a career in which she will be a helper. 

Just three years ago, Emily Ellyson was graduating from United High School and already planning to study radiologic technology at 天天吃瓜 State Salem. This year, she is graduating from 天天吃瓜 State Salem with that degree in hand and ready to put her skills to use.

Before becoming a college student, Ellyson said that she knew she wanted to work in healthcare in some capacity and, after job shadowing technicians in a nearby hospital radiology department, she found her calling.
