About the Programs
Student success is emphasized in the Medical Imaging Department. On campus students learn the history, theory, and procedures of the imaging modality of their choice. At one of the many hospitals or medical centers affiliated with the imaging programs, students refine their skills by performing the many examination they practiced in the laboratory, on patients. In the Fall of 2007 OIT dedicated a new health sciences building, the Center for Health Professions. All new labs, and all new energized digital equipment is available for students to practice on machines that are found in modern imaging centers today. OIT has the most extensive offering of medical imaging programs, and the finest equipped imaing laboratories of any educational facility in the United States. Students also rotate though clinical observations and practice at the Sky Lakes Medical Center, located next to Oregon Tech. Career prospects for MIT graduates are exceptional. The job market is good and expected to get better as the baby boom generation moves to retirement. |
