\"\"<\/p>\n

If you have broken a bone, needed a chest X-ray, or required radiation treatment, there is a growing chance that a Dunwoody graduate ran the diagnostic equipment. Since 2009, Dunwoody has awarded 127 Associate of Applied Science Degrees in Radiologic Technology.<\/p>\n

Six more students received their graduation pins Thursday, July 12, 2018, and officially graduated from the program earlier this month. The pins are a symbol of a ceremonial tradition dating back to the days when hospitals gave out X-ray pins at the end of training. Dunwoody continues the tradition as a way of celebrating graduates and launching them into the profession.<\/p>\n

Dunwoody reputation draws students, employers<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Katy Hammond of Mounds View started her academic journey pursuing another medical-related career before being drawn to Dunwoody for its course reputation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is so interesting to see inside the body and see what happens,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Potential employers are also attracted to Dunwoody – especially to the level of experience a Dunwoody graduate exhibits.<\/p>\n

Their first year of class, students work side-by-side with professionals in local clinics and hospitals, such as Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital and North Memorial Health Hospital. Students work in these settings two days a week, increasing to three days a week their second year.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything we were learning in the classroom, we could literally take it to the clinical site and do it on a real person and not just one of our classmates,\u201d said graduate Andrea Lamour.<\/p>\n

David Blake, Radiologic Technology Program Manager, said, \u201cBy the time they are done with the program, students will have completed around 1,700 hours [of clinical experience.]\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey tell us at the beginning that this is a two year interview, so when I am at the site for a year and a half, [I know] they are watching me and I am impressing them. It is very comforting knowing you are going out in the world ready,\u201d said Lamour, who has been hired by North Memorial Health Hospital.<\/p>\n

Hammond also credits classroom work and clinical work running simultaneously as the reason she has a job waiting for her at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe get almost two years of experience, so I feel like I have grown so much. A couple of months ago I interviewed, and the next day they called me two months before I graduated,\u201d Hammond said.<\/p>\n

Students interested in becoming a radiologic technician can apply for the August 2019 fall semester.<\/p>\n
