Raleigh, N.C., June 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wake Radiology UNC REX Healthcare announced that Wake Technical Community College Computed Tomography (CT) students have awarded its Garner office as the Outstanding CT Clinical Site for Spring 2024. Students rotated to multiple clinical sites throughout the region and voted on their favorite at the conclusion of their program.
“Helping educate and nurture the next generation of CT professionals is one of the most rewarding parts of being on the Wake Radiology team,” said Kelly Bridges, CT Imaging Manager, Garner Office Manager, Wake Radiology. “We’re so proud of our Garner team for being recognized with this award and the contributions each person makes to enrich our field.”

The Computed Tomography Certificate program at Wake Tech prepares students to use specialized equipment to visualize cross-sectional anatomical structures and aid physicians in the demonstration of pathologies and disease processes. The certificate is a specialty for ARRT-registered radiographers, nuclear medicine technologists or radiation therapists.
