When she learned that Dunwoody offered a program in Radiologic Technology<ins>,<\/ins> she immediately connected with the College to find out more about the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buzick was able to work with admissions counselors and\nprogram staff to set up a shadowing experience, joining then current Radiologic\nTechnology students onsite at North Memorial Hospital during one of their\nclinical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a great opportunity to observe what it would be like\nas&nbsp;a student in the program, and a tech in the field. It definitely\nsolidified my thoughts on becoming&nbsp;a Radiologic Technologist,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After falling in love with what she saw, she was confident\nthat Dunwoody would help her achieve her goals and made the decision to apply. Fast\nforward to the Spring of 2021<ins>,<\/ins> and\nBuzick is a proud graduate of the Radiologic Technology program<del>,<\/del>\nand Academic Excellence Award recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe education I received at\nDunwoody is far superior than my previous education experience,\u201d Buzick said. \u201cAt\nprevious colleges I attended, I sat in big lecture halls and didn&#8217;t have much\ncommunication with other students or my professors. At Dunwoody, we had smaller\nclass sizes so my education was more individualized. We had labs and clinicals\nto get us the hands-on experience we needed to be prepared and comfortable for\nour future careers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The smaller class sizes\nalso afforded Buzick and her cohort the opportunity to form close bonds and\nfriendships in and out of the classroom, motivating and supporting one another\nthrough a year that challenged them in ways that none of them could have\nimagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic was\nthe biggest challenge during my college career because we went from being very\nhands-on to completely virtual,\u201d Buzick recalled. It was challenging to foresee\nwhat this transition would mean for her and her classmates who were in the\nmidst of pursuing an education in a very specialized, hands-on field &#8212; but\nBuzick says she is grateful to her professors who worked to make the transition\nas smooth as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDavid Blake, our program\ndirector, has been the biggest inspiration to me throughout my college\nexperience,\u201d Buzick said. \u201cHe really goes above and beyond to all of his\nstudents and does everything in his power to see them succeed. I hope to be\nhalf the tech and person he is someday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Blake sees a bright\nfuture for Buzick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJayden\u2019s performance always exceeded what was expected,\u201d Blake said. \u201cAn enthusiastic and exceptional student who always came to class prepared, Jayden would understand and appreciate the course material. In radiologic technology, there is an emphasis on critical thinking, which she is able to do with ease. She is highly intelligent and has good analytical skills \u2013 she is an outstanding graduate. With dedication to the profession through her outstanding academic performance and her diligent working attitude, Jayden will become an active and contributing member of our profession.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buzick\nisn\u2019t wasting any time. Since graduating from the program she has been working\nfull time at Maple Grove Hospital and looks forward to even more possibilities\nahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I look into the future, I&#8217;m excited to continue my education and grow my skills in the Radiologic Technology field. I hope to eventually go back to school and get a bachelor\u2019s degree to either uphold a management position in my field or become a clinical instructor and teach other future radiologic technologists. Even though I&#8217;m done with school, there are always opportunities for more education and growth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jayden Buzick always had an interest in pursuing a career in the medical field but was never quite sure where that interest might lead.
