Radiography Program graduates: Where are they now?
For those who are exploring the field, consider the options that are opened to you with a degree in radiography. The path for many of us that work as radiographers is not a straight line, which to me was the characteristic I wanted in my chosen career.
Matthew Rau, R.T.(R)
Program graduate who is now the southeastern Minnesota regional radiology manager within Mayo Clinic Health System
The thing I loved the most about this program was the high patient exposure we got to experience. One month into the program, we got to take X-rays — most other programs are not like that!
