About Daryl M. Chatman

Mission: The mission of the Associate of Science in Radiography program is to provide undergraduate students with academic and clinical foundations to competently perform as radiographers that provide quality patient care, actively participate in the profession, possess the ability to specialize in advanced degree programs and/or imaging specialties, and pursue life-long learning. Note: our program was awarded JRCERT accreditation as of June 2025. Role of the Radiologic Technologist: The South College AS Radiography program prepares students to become members of the health care team in a variety of settings. Radiologic Technologists must be sensitive to patients’ physical and psychological needs, pay attention to detail, follow instructions, work as part of a team, and demonstrate mechanical ability and manual dexterity. Radiologic Technologists operate sophisticated equipment to help physicians, surgeons, and other health practitioners diagnose and treat patients. Radiologic Technologist Certification: Students completing the A.S degree program are eligible to apply for admission to write the certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Successful completion of the ARRT examination provides licensure to practice as a registered radiographer. Students may be excluded from taking the certification examination if convicted of a felony.
