Diagnostic Medical Imaging Graduates Achieve 100% Examination Pass Rate for 22^nd Consecutive Year

This year, Diagnostic Medical Imaging (DMI) students extended a remarkable feat for the 22^nd year: achieving a 100 percent first-attempt credentialing examination pass rate. For more than two decades, every student in the program passed the necessary exams within three months of graduating from the program. This accomplishment is the direct result of a collective effort between faculty, staff, clinical partners, and administration working together toward the common goal of student success.

In order to practice as a radiologic technologist, students must pass a certification examination in Radiography, administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Combining classroom and laboratory components at the College with Clinical Education courses at an area affiliate hospital, CCP’s DMI program prepares students to work with patients in Radiology departments wherever they begin their careers.

“This year marked a significant milestone for the Diagnostic Medical Imaging (DMI) Program as we celebrated our 50th Pinning Ceremony (paused due to covid) and our 51st graduating class,” said assistant professor and program director of Diagnostic Medical Imaging, Corinne Polito. This milestone is especially meaningful for Polito, who is a graduate of the program herself. “On a personal note, I am deeply honored to come full circle in my professional journey. As a proud graduate of CCP's DMI program, it is a privilege to be able to come back to the College as an educator and mentor current DMI students.”

Radiologic technologists play a vital role in health care, combining compassion, critical thinking, technical expertise and meticulous attention to detail to provide exceptional patient care. Our graduates leave this program equipped not only with the knowledge and skills necessary for success, but also with the professionalism and confidence needed to make contributions to the health care community. “It truly takes a village to educate and support future health care professionals,” Polito said. “And I am grateful every day to be part of such a caring, committed and talented village.”

These accomplishments are possible because of the continued dedication of our faculty, clinical instructors, staff and health care partners. Our faculty work tirelessly to ensure that students master both the technical competencies and ARRT content required for professional success.
