Dear Prospective Radiography Student: This letter is your career introduction to the Diagnostic Imaging Profession of Radiography: Making your future vocational choice is an explicit statement about the kind of person you are and hope to be. When considering healthcare, Radiography is one of the most highly technical, high-touch professions today. As a medical radiographer you will be part of a well-educated group of professionals who work with some of the most advanced imaging equipment available to diagnose and treat disease and trauma.

Marquette General Health System School of Radiography is an educational program founded in 1979 that encourages talented and dedicated individuals to pursue careers in radiography and prepare them for the profession by providing a high-quality curriculum that presents a broad didactic component, comprehensive clinical practicum, and an environment that instills professional affective skills.

The setting for your education is a dynamic 350-bed Level II Trauma Center located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Students are given the opportunity to work one-on-one with board certified radiologists and registered radiologic technologists in addition to the entire healthcare staff at Marquette General. In conjunction with Diagnostic Radiography you will be provided an introduction to many of the different imaging disciplines such as: Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Cardiac Imaging, Vascular and Interventional Imaging, Mammography, Ultrasound, Radiation Therapy, Nuclear Medicine, and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Enrollment is limited to ten students per year to provide the highest quality of education.

The academic year runs from September through August with our students attending a forty-hour clock week consisting of didactic instruction integrated with a clinical practicum for twenty-four months (Six semesters - four traditional and two summer semesters). A student's clinical practicum occurs at various affiliated sites throughout the Upper Peninsula encompassing all imaging modalities with the most current technology available.

Due to the possible life style changes involved for a radiography student a student policy manual and campus safety and security are available for review and discussion upon request by contacting a school official or reviewing a condensed version on our web site.

If you have any additional questions after reviewing our catalog please do not hesitate to contact a program faculty member by telephone, e-mail, or in person.
