From current & former students and employer surveys
I was very prepared for my boards by the way! You run an EXCELLENT program and it has prepared me for my job as well as the boards themselves.
(Joe Fiorenzano, class of 2010)
The Radiation Therapy Program at Hartford Hospital taught me the skills for a rewarding career. The program also helped to prepare me for future endeavors in the world of Radiation Therapy. I wouldn't have chosen any other program. I am proud to be a graduate of the Hartford Hospital Radiation Therapy Program."
(Jared Scroggins, Class of 2006)
“The program is as demanding and comprehensive as I imagined it would
be. Though at times I wonder how I will make it through the two years, I
know I will be a competent therapist when I graduate. All of the
courses are occupationally specific, and we are placed in a clinical
setting from the start, so we know what to expect and will be well
prepared for our future occupations. The program director and clinical
coordinator are extremely thorough and supportive in every way. I could
have enrolled in other programs to which I was accepted, but I chose
Hartford because I knew it had the reputation of being one of the best
programs in the country. As a junior student, with 7 ½ months behind me,
I can’t imagine there being a better program anywhere. The entire staff
is professional, supportive, and active in making sure we get the best
education possible. This program is my whole life now, and you should
expect to make it yours for two years because there is no room for
outside distractions. It is a big commitment to be the best.”
(Bill Bunke, Class of 2005)
“I think it’s an awesome program…I felt very prepared, competent, and
qualified to begin work. I had no reservations about starting work and
felt I could have gone to any facility and more than hold my own.”
(Peter LaValley, Class of 2002)
“The program was challenging and very well-rounded.”
(Sherri Dressler, Class of 2001)
“I was very impressed with the ability of the
entry-level staff member. She exhibited a sense of professionalism
along with confidence in her clinical abilities. She makes appropriate
decisions regarding patients and their needs. After one year, I have
come to rely on her as an integral part of my growing team.”
(Employer Survey, Class of 2001 Graduate)
“No recommendations needed. Already it is an
amazing program. It is also noted among the therapy profession as being
one of the best schools. I know this because even in Boston they rave
about the program.”
(1-Year Graduate Evaluation, Class of 2001)
“We could not ask anything more of Michelle. She is a true professional and is always upbeat with all members of staff and patients. She is an asset to our department. I feel that Hartford Hospital does a wonderful job in preparing the students for their working situation. Thank you for that!!”
