The Radiography Program at Pima Medical Institute, 3333 E. Flamingo Road in Las Vegas recently received their accreditation for three years, the highest award offered to new programs. PMI’s RAD graduate can now sit for the American registry of radiologic technologists (ARRT) exam to get national certification.
“Receiving accreditation for a new program is a rigorous scrutiny process and a lot of the credit goes to Marsha Sortor, our program director,” said Daryl Goldberg, campus director for the medical career college. “We are very proud of Marsha’s hard work and we look forward to graduating the top radiography students in the state.”
Radiography is one of the Top 20 career fields that will be most in demand through 2010 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Due to the expanding population of the elderly, as well as the increased use of innovative medical technology for intensive diagnosis and treatment, the demand for these jobs is expected to increase for 50 years.
The 96-week Radiography program includes 2800 hours of training. Graduates of this program are eligible to apply to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists examination for certification.
