Glad you stopped by.

Welcome to the Institute of Allied Medical Professions blog.

This blog is a new endeavor for us, but one we hope will ignite a passion for medicine in our students, our faculty, and our readers.

But before we jump into the world of blogging and start posting about “all things medicine” or “the life of a medical student”, let us take a moment to share with you a little bit about our institute and why we’re proud to be a part of the medical profession.

We were founded in 1974 as the The Radiological Institute with a certificate program in Nuclear Medicine Technology. By 1977, the state of New York granted us our charter and in 1982 we changed our name to the Institute of Allied Medical Professions which ultimately allowed us to add more medical programs and expand our campuses to three different states: NY, FL, and GA. Then in 2006, The Commission for Independent Education granted us the right to “grant degrees”, allowing us to start our very first Associate of Applied Science program in the in the field of Radiology and Diagnostic Medical Sonography.

As to why we’re proud to be a part of the medical profession, let’s just say that without professionals in the medical field, lives couldn’t be saved.

Every life, no matter how insignificant it may seem to another is significant to someone, somewhere. And no matter how hard we try to live good, safe lives, incidents happen that cause us to need the help and care of someone in the medical profession. Whether it’s the radiologist, the medical assistant, the nurse, the lab technician, or the surgeon, every staff member plays a part in helping us achieve our goals of living healthy, happy lives.

If you have a question you’d like answered, don’t hesitate to leave a comment. Whether you leave it anonymously, or with your ID, we’ll do our best to help you find the answers you need to make informed decisions.

But please be advised that we cannot ethically, or legally, give medical advice. If you’re experiencing any type of ailment, please seek the help of a confident member of the medical profession.

See you next week!
