Radiologic Technology Program Students & Faculty

"Out of high school, I went into the food industry and got comfortable in that environment for 15 years. During that time, I took classes on and off at OCC. Then COVID hit and restaurants shut down. This was my time to focus on my curriculum in the Radiologic Technology program. The program itself is far and above what I expected. The professors work hard behind the scenes for their students, they sacrifice a lot of time and energy for each of their graduation classes to succeed. The tutor session they gave the students before our radiology exam overprepared us. My class flew through that exam, thanks to these instructors."-Paolo, Radiologic Technology
