Dr. Skip Sullivan, president of Alfred State, said, “We are excited to add diagnostic medical sonography to our health-care related academic offerings, particularly given the projected job growth of this field in the coming years."
The forensic science technology program has recently obtained full accreditation status from the Forensic Science Education Programs Accreditation Commission (FEPAC), becoming one of only 20 FEPAC-accredited bachelor-level programs within the field nationwide.
Continuing to support Alfred State and its health care-related academic offerings, the Bethesda Foundation recently contributed $50,000 to the college’s new radiologic technology program.
The program prepares qualified students to become health care professionals who administer ionizing radiation (X-rays) to produce photographic and digital anatomical images for diagnostic, therapeutic, and research applications. Students will complete both didactic classes on campus and clinical rotations at area hospitals.
Student displays from six local school districts (Prattsburgh, Hinsdale, Addison, Andover, Canaseraga, Homeschool) were judged at Alfred State’s 14th Annual Regional Science and Technology Fair.
