“The ceremony was a huge success,” said James Temme, associate director of the RSTE division. “Parents were impressed at what is being done at the medical center and the students appreciated the formal introduction to the field of radiation sciences.”
More than 250 people attended the Sept. 14 event in the Storz Pavilion.
During the ceremony, which focused on professionalism, students received a circular, red RSTE pin, which symbolizes the student’s dedication to the highest principles of respect, competency, service and integrity.
UNMC graduate Ann Twarling of The Nebraska Medical Center emphasized the importance of patient respect and confidentiality. Mary Haven, associate dean of the School of Allied Health Professions, gave an overview of the SAHP program. Students also recited an oath to emphasize the high standards expected of them as they care for patients during their clinical assignments.
