Student Stories
“I was drawn to radiologic science for the technical aspects, as well as for patient care. I knew I wanted a career that would allow me to provide empathetic and compassionate care to patients. While I initially applied for nursing, I made the switch to radiologic science and I am so happy that I did! I truly feel that this field is the best fit for me.”
