Connection with Great Falls hospital provides new training opportunity for COT rad-tech students

Radiologic technician students at Montana State University Billings spend a lot of time learning about exposure, equal parts science and experience.

This fall, thanks to connections with Benefis Health Systems in Great Falls, rad-tech students at the MSU Billings College of Technology have exposure to an additional lab.

A Phillips X-ray machine and table now occupy a second lab space on the second floor of the COT’s Health Sciences Building. It will give the 14 students in the program the opportunity to train on both digital and analog equipment used in health care facilities across the state and region.

The new X-ray equipment is occupying a room that was waiting for the right equipment, said Mick Ender, the director of the popular two-year program at the COT.
