Over the past two years, students in Southwestern Community College’s Radiography program have been attending classes and training in clinical settings in preparation for becoming professional medical radiographers.
Earlier this month, family and friends of those nine students attended a pinning ceremony to celebrate their completion of that rigorous program.
Upon successfully passing their national certification exam, these SCC graduates will be ready to accept employment with area healthcare providers: Nkayla Corry of Hendersonville, Kiara Dewey of Otto, Kameron Duncan of Sylva, Kaitlyn Henry of Franklin, Justin Hussey of Franklin, Emily Liner of Clyde, Blake Robertson of Sylva, Lauren Swann of Cullowhee and Michael Winchester of Bryson City.
“Our program is not easy, and that’s on purpose,” said Meg Rollins Petty, SCC’s Radiography Program Director. “We want our graduates to be ready to succeed on the job from Day One, and I am confident we have prepared them the right way. I could not be more grateful to all of the hospitals who allow our students to undergo their clinical rotations in our region, and I’m very proud of these students for all their had work and dedication.”
