Rasmussen University’s Radiologic Technology Program in Ocala Earns Maximum Reaccreditation Term from the JRCERT

“We are proud to receive the JRCERT reaccreditation, which demonstrates the rigorous academic quality of our programs to students and the public,” says Tammy Renner, associate dean for Radiologic Technology at Rasmussen University. “You can see this in our graduates, who are highly qualified professionals who live out our mission of service for the public good.”

Rasmussen’s Radiologic Technology Program Provides Real-World Experience

With an Associate’s degree in Radiologic Technology, students gain proficiency in diagnostic imaging, anatomy and physiology and radiation safety. Alongside their online courses, students get hands-on practice on campus in labs. They also gain experience with performing x-rays on patients at clinical sites in diverse practicum settings.

Students can complete their program in as few as 24 months² and save money by taking interactive self-directed assessments, which allow them to show they’ve already achieved the skills and knowledge for a particular course. Upon graduation, students are also prepared to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) exam and earn the nationally recognized certification.

“We’re proud to be one of the few options in our area that allows qualified students to get started in their program right away and graduate in just two years,” said Dr. Dawn McNeil, Radiologic Technology program coordinator, Rasmussen University—Ocala. “Our grads are in great demand right now—in fact, all our recent grads had job offers before they even graduated. A growing and aging population here in Central Florida, combined with some of the largest retirement communities in the state, is driving the need for Radiologic Technologists both at hospitals as well as imaging centers that are popping up all over our community.”
