Click on headline for story with photo By Dave Cazalet, Jr., SCC Director of Public Relations The 2009 graduating class in the Somerset Community College Radiography Program achieved a 100 percent pass rate on the American Registry of Radiologic Technology (ARRT) Examination, which is the national board exam for Radiographers. That means that every SCC Radiography graduate was fully prepared to enter their new career field. The Radiography Program is one of eight health care career fields offered at SCC. The Program prepares graduates to administer ionizing radiation for medical diagnostic imaging purposes. Radiographers may find positions in hospitals, health clinics, and physicians' offices. Research laboratories and some industrial firms also employ radiographers. According to Doyle Decker, who is an SCC Assistant Professor and the Coordinator of the SCC Radiography Program, the overall scores of the 2009 graduates places the SCC Radiography Program in the top 160 of the 1,000 Radiography programs in the United States. "The average score for the SCC graduates was 89.1," Decker said. "Our lowest score was 85, so our students didn't just pass, they passed with flying colors." Thirteen students graduated from the SCC Radiography Program in May, 2009. They are: Beth Brummett, London, KY; Denise Bowling, London, KY; Jeffery Welch, Bronston, KY; Chelsea Bills, Greensburg, KY; Sherri Lay, Somerset, KY; Tanisha Layne, Nancy, KY; Ashley Murphy, LIberty, KY; Don Rudder, Casey Co., KY; Chris Brown, Liberty, KY; Kyle Henry, Russell Springs, KY; Lynne Vaneslow, Somerset, KY; Eric Monhollen, Williamsburg, KY; and Lisa Staton, Monticello, KY. Three Adair Countians, Sally Kemp, Tony Ellis, and Tiffany George are previous graduates of the SCC Radiography Program. Eight of the students are currently working in the Radiography field and two are continuing their education. Other faculty members in the SCC Radiography Program are Associate Professor Shanda Catron and Instructor Marla Jo Loveless. "A pass rate of 100 percent is the goal for all of our health care career programs," said Dr. Jo Marshall, the President and CEO of SCC. "This achievement by our Radiography students and faculty is an indication to the community that Somerset Community College produces high quality graduates who are prepared to be successful in their chosen professions." Two of the graduates of the SCC Radiography Program are currently seeking additional degrees or certifications. Beth Brummett, who was also a former SCC Student Ambassador, is currently attending Hazard Community College in the Sonography program. The other, Jeffrey Welch, is attending Morehead State University. He will complete his Bachelor of Science Degree in Radiological Sciences, with a concentration in Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, in 2010. According to Decker, students in the SCC Radiography Program only need to complete six additional general education requirements in order to graduate with both an Associate in Arts (AA) Degree and an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Radiography. Somerset Community College has an articulation agreement with Morehead State University (MSU) in which a student with both an AA and AAS Degree from SCC, who also passes the ARRT registry exam, can enter MSU as a senior. The student can then finish a BS degree in an intensive one-year program. The SCC graduate can apply to one of two tracks at MSU; Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). "So, in the big scheme of seeking a Bachelors Degree, an SCC student, who spends a year completing general education classes and then two years in the radiography program here at SCC, is on track to complete a BS degree in four years," Decker pointed out. "The big advantage is that the student can attend SCC for three years with our much lower tuition rate and still earn a four-year degree from MSU." Somerset Community College is a comprehensive two-year institution of high education. SCC has campuses in Somerset and London, centers in Clinton, McCreary, Casey, and Russell Counties.
