At the program completion\/graduation ceremony, three graduates received honors and scholarships. James \u201cDylan\u201d McLain of Waynesboro was selected by the clinical affiliates to receive the 2023 Clinical Student of the Year.  Because of his demonstration of exceptional patient care and going above and beyond his clinical responsibilities, clinical affiliates chose McLain for this top honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDylan is compassionate, dedicated, hardworking and always advocating for his patients and the profession. He was committed to providing the highest quality of competent care in the clinical setting while undergoing extensive didactic training and working part-time at a rural health care facility. Dylan\u2019s exceptional clinical performance secured him a full-time position at Wayne General Hospital and this award. I know he will continue to maintain the highest standards in the imaging profession and make huge contributions to radiologic technology throughout the community,\u201d said JC Clinical Coordinator, Brittany Barron.<\/p>\n\n\n

Earning the Academic Student of the Year Award was Abby Boone of Puckett for maintaining a competitive grade point average, in addition to holding a part-time student tech position at one of the college\u2019s clinical facilities. Additionally, Boone was awarded a $200 Mississippi Society of Radiologic Technologist (MSRT) Scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbby is goal-oriented and driven. She has distinguished herself scholastically with competitive grades and has displayed good moral character and professionalism which is why she was chosen for both the MSRT scholarship and the Academic Student of the Year Award,\u201d said Pearson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earning the Mississippi Radiological Society Scholarship was Abby Morris. The Columbia resident earned a $400 scholarship to continue her education. Requirements of the MSRS Scholarship include high academic achievement, sound moral character and financial need.<\/p>\n\n\n

She was selected to be a member of Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s Academic Hall of Fame, while also maintaining a part-time job as a student tech at an area healthcare facility. Abby has demonstrated her ability as a competent, entry-level technologist and is currently employed full time with Hattiesburg Clinic-Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine. I know she will be an asset to the imaging and healthcare professions,\u201d Pearson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
