NHTI Radiologic Technology program graduates with 100% national exam pass rate
All 35 graduates of the Radiologic Technology program at NHTI passed the AART certification exam on their first attempt
All 35 graduates of the Radiologic Technology program at NHTI—Concord’s Community College passed the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification exam on their first attempt, an achievement that has happened only once before in the program’s 40-plus-year history. NHTI’s 100% first-time pass rate far exceeds the national average of 84%.
Students sit for the ARRT exam after completing NHTI’s 24-month program, which combines classroom instruction with hands-on clinical experience in operating X-ray equipment, positioning patients, selecting technical factors and providing safe patient care. Once they pass the exam and obtain a state license, graduates can work as radiographers anywhere in the country, caring for patients in hospitals, clinics, emergency rooms and operating rooms. Nearly all graduates have a job lined up before graduation, and others find one shortly after.
Program Director Kate Marcouillier said, “I’m incredibly proud of this cohort for achieving a 100% pass rate on the ARRT exam. This group holds special meaning for me as the first students I had the privilege of teaching through all their positioning courses. Watching their growth, dedication, and commitment to excellence has been truly rewarding. I’m excited to welcome them into the profession as registered radiographers – and even more excited to call them colleagues.”
