"We are awed by the achievements of this team and our students; they deserve our highest accolades."

"When we initially launched our CT program, we recognized the immediate need for healthcare professionals with this specialized knowledge and dreamed of designing and delivering a leading-edge program that graduates could be proud of and employers could rely on for producing CT professionals of the highest calibre," said Rose Elia, Chief Operating Officer of Anderson College. "What has evolved through the unwavering commitment of our team and the achievements of our graduates has surpassed even our highest expectations. We are deeply grateful to our community partners, including hospitals and clinics, for hosting practicums that enrich our students' learning journeys and prepare them for excellence in the field."
