Originally, Columbia and St. Mary's were two separate entities and merged together to become Columbia-St. Mary's in 1995. Prior to this date, both facilities taught in the radiology department.

Though we were a teaching hospital prior to this date, it was not until 1952 that the Columbia campus first became accredited by the JRCERT. In December of 1965 St. Mary's applied for the same and later was also granted accreditation. Over half a century of professional radiographers have been produced by the program!

Columbia St. Mary's School of Radiologic Technology is a 24-month (six semester) program. In this program students receive instruction in radiographic procedures, anatomy, radiologic physics, pathology, and radiation biology. Students also have to complete clinical course work. Upon graduation the student is prepared to take the diagnostic radiography certification examination sponsored by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (AART).

This program takes pride that its graduates are meeting the health care needs of metropolitan Milwaukee , and the health care needs of the surrounding areas. The school is located in a diverse community- comprised of different ethnic groups, lifestyles, and economic classes and ages.

CSM is proud to be affiliated with Concordia University and the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee . Students enrolled in these colleges are welcome to apply and perhaps interview for a position in the student body. After successfully completing academic criteria for one of the universities as well as the radiology program, students will hold the credentials of B.S., R.T.R. (Bachelaureate of Science in Radiologic Technology).

CSM School of Radiologic Technology is an accredited school. We have met and maintained the professional standards of a radiology program as mandated by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). This is in conjunction with the American Medical Association, the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), and the Association of Educators in Radiologic Sciences (AERS).

CSM School of Radiologic Technology (CSM-SORT) is dedicated to the preparation of students who are competent in the entry-level employment skills of a registered R.T.R. (Registered Technologist of Radiography). It is also our goal to provide the student with the necessary clinical and academic experiences to enable them to successfully complete the ARRT certification exam. As part of our mission, we impress upon the student how these goals are met while preserving the dignity of every person with compassion and care of the highest standard.

The philosophy of the program is to maintain a teaching facility in and for the community. To offer a high quality educational program for the development of technical skills and personal qualities of the student, both of which are necessary to provide exceptional patient care.

We believe education is a joint responsibility of both the student and the school. Education presents itself in many ways, therefore students must exhibit an inquisitive nature to take advantage of non-traditional learning opportunities. In many ways, the students initiate and direct their own learning, enabling them to exceed beyond the entry level capabilities of a radiographer.
