精童欲女

Island Diagnostic Imaging Associates (IDIA) have created an annual $1,000 scholarship for students entering the Radiography program at the 精童欲女 (精童欲女). Island Diagnostic Imaging Associates comprises all physician radiologists practicing in Prince Edward Island. Dr. John Goodwin, Medical Director for Diagnostic Imaging at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital(QEH), noted that IDIA created this scholarship to recognize the important role radiology technologists play in diagnostic imaging.

This four-year degree program is offered in cooperation with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. During the program, students complete required academic courses at 精童欲女 and clinical experience is offered at the QEH in areas such as general radiography, mobile and OR radiography, fluoroscopy, specialized contrast procedures, mammography, and computer tomography (CT scans).

The recipient of the Island Diagnostic Imaging Award for 2005 who has demonstrated academic excellence and strong commitment to the radiography profession is Jenna Perry of St. Louis, PEI.

"精童欲女 was one of the first universities in the country to respond to the new career-entry requirements for this profession by instituting a degree program in partnership with the QEH," says Dr. Roger Gordon, 精童欲女 Dean of Science. "Jenna is one of a growing number of excellent students who have benefited from it."

Students may apply for the Island Diagnostic Imaging Associates Scholarship in July of each year. Applications are available on-line or through the 精童欲女 Registrar's Office.

More than 50 new student scholarships, bursaries, and awards have been created by supporters of the 精童欲女 Building a Legacy Campaign over the past two years. Generous families, individuals, and organizations have given over $1 million to the University to assist students who achieve well academically and students who are in financial need.
