“My greatest learning experience at Oregon Tech is likely the opportunity and privilege of being able to shadow nuc med techs at Sky Lakes in their Nuclear medicine department. It has been extremely helpful to witness the field I am studying in action and be able to see all of my knowledge learned in the classroom applied live and in action.”

“My first experience in the medical field was when I joined the US Navy as a Hospital Corpsman. I served for seven years and learned the skills of a vocational nurse, EMT and a Surgical Technician. I gained experience that made me a valuable member of the local community upon my discharge.”

“A learning experience that I’ve endured at Oregon Tech, one that I believe is a bit underrated, is the importance of prioritizing and strengthening your support systems. The shift into a very academically challenging program quickly made me realize how much I relied on my friends and family, and how none of my achievements at Oregon Tech would have happened without my support system.”
