MSU Imaging Sciences graduates 100 percent
In an accomplishment that illustrates Morehead State University’s commitment to quality education, all of the Imaging Sciences 2008 graduates have passed their national licensure exam on their first attempt.
This 100 percent pass rate for the 56 graduates includes a total of 81 examinations. The department has two degree programs that graduate students annually. The programs include the Associate Degree Radiologic Sciences and Baccalaureate Degree in Imaging Sciences with two areas of concentrations, computed tomography/magnetic resonance and diagnostic medical sonography.
“I congratulate the graduates and the faculty for their hard work and accomplishments,” said Barbara Dehner, chair of MSU’s Department of Imaging Science. “And I also appreciate the support and dedication our clinical education professionals provide. Passing these exams certifies our graduates as entry level practitioners in imaging sciences to work in any state in the U.S.”
Students in the imaging sciences department begin with a two-year degree program in radiologic sciences and advance to the baccalaureate program where they select the computed tomography/magnetic resonance or diagnostic medical sonography option. These programs include 50 percent didactic and 50 percent clinical experience in one of 33 affiliated hospitals in the tri-state area.
The department also offers a baccalaureate online program --Leadership in Medical Imaging -- to registered practitioners. This program allows the student to complete the required courses part time and is planned for the working practitioner who wants to pursue a leadership role in imaging sciences.
