Thirteen of our dental hygiene students graduated on May 10 and recently took the National Board Dental Hygiene Exam. I’m happy to report that all of the students (100%) passed their exam on their first attempt. In addition, 92 percent of the students passed the SC clinical exam (only one student missed by just .75 points). The one student plans to retake the exam in the near future. I greatly appreciate the hard work of Edna Martin, Wanda Hayes, Pam Sherer, Dr. Charles Crosby, and Ginny West for preparing the students for the licensure exams.
In addition, our Radiologic Technologists graduates sat for the ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists) certification exam within five days of graduation and all passed. This cohort scored the highest mean average score in at least a decade, possibly ever, of 91.2 out of 100. At the present time, York Technical College's Radiologic Technology program results for 2011 place us in the 92nd percentile of programs nationally (and a few internationally). This ranking is not just for two-year Associate degree programs but all Radiography program graduates including four-year Bachelor degree graduates in Radiologic Sciences sitting for this exam. Congratulations Michele Wells and Kim Ford!
In many cases, learning outcomes can be challenging to measure and difficult to adjust our strategies for success. In other fields, such as this, we see the direct results of a focus on those outcomes and the great job faculty do to help students achieve. Thank you all for your dedication to our students’ success!
