Spurred by New Hampshire’s growing workforce needs in the healthcare industry, NHTI—Concord’s Community College has launched a new certificate program. Beginning this fall, the Computed Tomography (CT) program will train students to perform a specialized type of diagnostic medical imaging.
“As healthcare systems continue to expand and advanced diagnostic imaging services become increasingly essential, the demand for highly trained CT technologists continues to grow,” said Amy VonKadich, chair of NHTI’s department of healthcare professions. “These graduates will be prepared to enter the healthcare sector quickly, allowing NHTI to assist our hospitals and imaging centers.”
The new CT program at NHTI is available entirely online in an accelerated 8-week format and will prepare graduates for official certification with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). To enter the program, students must be enrolled in a radiologic technology program or be a registered radiographer.
“We are proud to expand opportunities for both our current students and for registered radiographers seeking to advance,” said radiologic technology program coordinator Kate Marcouillier.
NHTI already sees a nearly 100% employment rate for graduates of its prestigious healthcare programs. CT certification will add another level of expertise to graduates of the Radiologic Technology associate degree program.
“The addition of this program reflects NHTI’s commitment to improving postgraduate outcomes for current and future students by offering access to specialized, high-demand credentials,” said Hector Iweka, vice president for academic and workforce education.
Students looking to start a career in healthcare are encouraged to explore NHTI’s programs by reaching out to the Admissions Department at [email protected] or 603-230-4011.
