Welcome to the Fall 2008 Semester

The ECC Radiography program has evolved over the summer months. A few changes have been made, and undoubtedly, as a result of these changes many of you are coming into this new semester with very high levels of anxiety. For those of you who are new to the professional portion of this program the trepidation may be at an all time high.

You can release a few of your stressful thoughts starting right now. Go ahead, exhale. Your education is in good hands. As long as you are willing to do your part by applying yourself, I will do my best to guide you in a direction that will lead you to success.

How do I define success? Delivery of quality patient care is the standard by which a successful radiographer is judged. If you can deliver that consistently you are successful. But what will it take for you to be able to reach that goal?

Knowing your craft, that's how. Being skilled and compassionate, that's how. The skill part I can help you with...the compassion part will have to come from you.

Radiography is a culture; and like any other culture it has its dress code, its conduct, its language, and its traditions. Welcome to the Radiography culture.
