School of Radiologic Technology
North Memorial's School of Radiologic Technology is dedicated to providing high quality education through the use of competency-based clinical and comprehensive didactic techniques. We help our students become an integral part of the health care team that provides compassionate care to the communities we serve.
We offer a comprehensive program that gives students the clinical and didactic knowledge to be successful in an entry-level position and allows them to successfully complete the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) exam. Students are challenged to develop problem solving, critical thinking and communication skills that will allow them to apply and adapt what they have learned in the didactic and clinical setting. Emphasis is placed on the importance of radiation protection for patients and caregivers alike.
