Question: Starting the radiology program in sept. attending malcolm x college, i'm afraid. need to know what to expect.37 months ago
Best AnswerI used to teach there. (that was many years ago) It's actually a very good program. They will start out slow. Everyone is a little nervous going into the program, even the prof's though we won't admit it. There will be students there from all different backgrounds. It's not until about the 8th week that I see my students start to relax. good Luck! |
