After more than a month of being in the classroom full-time, 13 Southwestern Community College radiography students have begun their clinical rotations at a variety of area hospitals.

All the students are working toward a two-year, associate degree. Upon graduation, they can work in diagnostic x-ray departments or continue to specialty areas like MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), nuclear medicine, sonography, mammography, CT (Computed Tomography), radiation therapy or continue their education and work toward a bachelor’s degree.
