Kevin Ciraolo

Kevin: The one thing I enjoyed most about the program was having the opportunity to meet and learn from everyone I met these past two years whether It be from the advisors, staff, or patients.

Kevin: I chose to attend the Radiation Therapy program at the Center for Allied Health Education because I am passionate about the field. I have had several family members who have lost their battle to cancer and seeing the role a radiation therapist plays during the treatment process inspired me to become one.

Kevin: I have learned to persevere as a healthcare worker during my time in the program. During COVID-19 things were constantly changing at healthcare facilities across the world, and the dedication and compassion of all medical professionals allowed patients to still be treated. Coursework was also being modified, and taking on remote learning was also a new challenge we had to adjust to.

Kevin: The greatest piece of advice I could offer a new student would be to make sure that you take advantage of all the resources at the school. Don’t be afraid to speak up when you have questions, you will constantly be learning throughout the program and everyone is willing to help you throughout the two years. The experiences you gain will aid you in becoming successful in this field.

Kevin: One piece of advice I would give a prospective student would be to make sure that this is the field you want to enter. With hard work and dedication, you will be able to finish the program and have a fulfilling job that allows you to help others when they need someone the most.
