Marquette General School of Radiography and EMT School relocate to NMU campus
MGHS retains ownership of both schools

The Marquette General Health System School of Radiography and the School of Emergency Medical Technology have relocated to rented space in the University Center at Northern Michigan University.

Marquette General retains ownership and operation of both the School of Radiography and the EMT School. Radiography students have previously taken two of their academic courses at NMU while completing their didactic and clinical practicum at Marquette General. Using the same overall format with changes in the curriculum, graduates will complete two semesters of general education courses and receive an associate degree from NMU. Graduates from the program will continue to receive a certificate of completion from Marquette General to obtain licensure in radiologic technology from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

The School of Emergency Medical Technology provides several levels of education for individuals training to become Emergency Medical Technicians or Paramedics. Upon completion of the curriculum, students test to become certified by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. The School of Emergency Medical Technology is continuing to pursue National Accreditation. The School was recently recognized by the State of Michigan for having the best first-time pass rate by their students on the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians certification tests of all 118 EMS education programs in the state.

The move of both the School of Radiography and the School of Emergency Medical Technology has created needed space at Marquette General for the new Surgical Weight Loss offices of bariatric surgeon Dr. Wayne English.
