National Radiologic Technology Week is held each November to recognize the date that Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered the x-ray, which was Nov. 8, 1895. The annual observation helps promote the important role that medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals play in providing quality patient care and a safe healthcare environment.
To help commemorate this week, rad tech faculty and students from the Salem Campus bagged 690 bags of corn, for a total of 3,657 pounds of fresh produce to be distributed through the Second Harvest Food Bank.
The students also participated in a series of competitions that included the annual Quiz Bowl, informational exhibits and posters that were displayed at clinical sites. The students compete as teams, based on their clinical site placements.
Additionally, the Rad Tech program recognizes outstanding individuals through scholarship presentations.
