The School of Radiologic Technology is a 24-month, full time program sponsored by Port Huron Hospital. The program is designed to prepare students to become professional, competent radiographers. Radiographers, also referred to as radiologic technologists, work under the direction of radiologists, physicians qualified to order and or perform procedures and who specialize in the interpretation of the images obtained.

The program is accredited by:
