MRT Week at Dzʿ
The Diagnostic Imaging Technology Program at Dzʿ celebrated MRT (Medical Radiation Technologists) Week by having third-year students promote the profession on Nov. 7 in the Lower Atrium.
“The students invested significant time in creating posters and PowerPoint presentations with audio-visual elements related to emerging technologies, as well as trivia games like fun facts and Jeopardy, while engaging the Dzʿ community to participate and raise awareness about the profession,” reported Heidi Gumbley, Co-Program Coordinator/ Chair of Dzʿ’s Diagnostic Imaging Technology Department.
“The students need to meet competencies that promote the profession and healthcare system, while also educating fellow students, peers, patients, and the public about their field,” she said.
“The greatest impact observed was the enthusiasm and passion exhibited by the students for their profession. They effectively communicated to the public that Medical Imaging is an integral part of the medical field. The Diagnostic Imaging department is proud of its future graduates.”
A total of 21 students led the activity and hundreds of fellow students and Dzʿ staff participated.
