  • “What drew me to Keiser was that they were super flexible. I was a new mom, I was a little unsure about going back to school in my late 20s and they really just make it super accommodating and comfortable jumping back into it. The faculty and staff here truly have an open-door policy. Everybody has made it super easy to reach out if there are questions, or a problem or concern. I feel like I can go to anybody for help.”

    – Hannah V. Keiser University A.S. in Occupational Therapy Assistant Student
  • Keiser University Occupational Therapy Assistant Graduate

    Keiser University was, hands down, the perfect place for me to pursue my degree in Occupational Therapy. The smaller class sizes, coupled with the attentiveness and accessibility of the instructors, gave me the most thorough and qualified education possible. Outside of the classroom, the internships offered through Keiser afforded me the opportunity to build rapport within the therapy community and effectively network, which was no doubt the reason I was able to become immediately employed post-graduation despite the challenging job market. Ultimately, while being educated at Keiser, I absolutely fell in love with being a therapist, which is something that will fuel my career to the very end, and I am forever grateful.

    Go inside our Nuclear Medicine Degree Program classroom, and hear what students have to say about their experience at Keiser University Lakeland.

    – Keiser University Inside the Classroom with KeiserU Nuclear Medicine Degree Program
  • Keiser University Nuclear Medicine Technology Graduate

    I was looking for an exciting career change within the medical field, and Keiser’s Nuclear Medicine Technology program gave me everything I wanted.  The staff helped make the process quick and easy.  One year into core courses, and I am so excited for graduation. The didactic material and clinical experience gave me the necessary knowledge and skills to be successful.  I am confident that the faculty has prepared me for the national board exams and my abilities as a technologist.

    – Stephanie E. Keiser University Nuclear Medicine Technology Student
  • Keiser University Nuclear Medicine Technology Graduate

    Since the first day I stepped into the classroom, I knew that I had finally found a subject that could keep me curious and eager to return the next day to test my knowledge.  Throughout the program, I was challenged daily, yet I was encouraged to share ideas and ask questions with classmates and professors.  The small class and open discussion style further strengthened what was presented to me in the classroom.  I was fortunate to experience a variety of clinical sites that gave me the confidence needed to operate within the field of Nuclear Medicine.  Keiser University was the platform that changed me for the better and opened opportunities for me to provide for my family, and I’m thankful for every part of it.

    – Fidel O, BS, CNMT, RT (N) Keiser University Nuclear Medicine Technology Graduate

  • I found that Keiser University’s Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn’t truly interested in my progress as well as available if I needed assistance. I had the opportunity to serve as the President of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society while balancing my program of studies. The clinical experience and exposure in the Nuclear program is outstanding, and I was actually made a job offer six months prior to graduation.
