CLEVELAND, WI —
With a 100% pass rate on the first attempt, Lakeshore Technical College’s December 2021 radiography program graduates continue the tradition of LTC grads successfully passing the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists® (ARRT) certification exam.
ARTT is the world’s largest organization offering credentials in medical imaging, interventional procedures, and radiation therapy.
The national average pass rate is not yet available, though since 2018, pass rates have ranged from 88.2% to 89.0%. LTC graduate pass rates during that time ranged from 92.9% to 100%. LTC grads surpassed the national average each of those years.
All LTC students who were looking for work found positions before they graduated. Local healthcare facilities hiring the graduates as radiologic technicians include Aurora, HSHS St. Nicholas Hospital, and Prevea Health. The remainder of students transferred to four-year universities to pursue their bachelor’s degrees.
“Our radiography graduates continue performing at a high level when testing and out in the workforce where they are in high demand,” said LTC President Dr. Paul Carlsen. “This class proved to be especially resilient during COVID and we are confident they will provide the best care possible to members of our community.”
LTC’s radiography program received an eight-year accreditation by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology in 2018. For more information about Lakeshore’s radiography and other healthcare programs, visit gotoltc.edu/academics/degree-programs.
