National Rad Tech Week is celebrated each year by the\u00a0American\u00a0Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) to recognize the important role medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals play in patient care across the nation. The celebration takes place annually during the week that includes Nov. 8 to commemorate the discovery of the x-ray by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen on Nov. 8, 1895.<\/p>\n

Since the discovery of the x-ray, the Radiologic Technology field has played a key role in lowering the amount of unnecessary and exploratory surgeries and avoiding inappropriate treatments that inflate the costs of patient care.<\/p>\n

Dunwoody offers a hands-on degree<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dunwoody applies its hands-on approach to the Associate of Applied Science in Radiologic Technology by providing smaller class sizes and offering a variety of clinical settings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe instructors care about how you are doing and are more than willing to take time out of their day to go over anything that you are struggling with,\u201d said second-year student Eryn Kivo.<\/p>\n

Radiologic Technology Program Manager Dave Blake explains that class sizes typically stay around 10 students. This allows each student one-on-one time with clinical instructors and equipment, gaining hands-on knowledge of radiologic technology\u2019s best practices.<\/p>\n

Dunwoody maintains partnerships with 10-15 different hospitals and clinics in the Twin Cities area, including North Memorial Hospital. The variety of clinical sites allows students to work with real patients in every healthcare setting and situation\u2013from level-one trauma centers to geriatric hospitals\u2013before they graduate.<\/p>\n

During the clinical rotations, students scrub in and work with real patients alongside Radiologic Technologists and Medical Doctors for an eight hour shift. Graduates leave Dunwoody well-prepared, knowing exactly what to expect in their field.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting to learn and apply concepts to the real world in the same week is a great learning experience,\u201d said second-year student Alyson Stumbo. \u201cThe teachers and instructors we have are amazing and very encouraging.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dunwoody graduates have recently been hired by top hospitals in Minnesota like Hennepin County Medical Center, Methodist Hospital, Park Nicollet Clinics, and Fairview Southdale Hospital.<\/p>\n

To celebrate, students will be recognized for their hard work and dedication to the field with free lunches at clinical sites this week.<\/p>\n
