She has been a registered radiologic technologist since 2006, earning valuable experience working throughout Montana and Washington; recently, she earned a Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences degree.

"The board appointment is an exciting opportunity for me to combine my experiences as a technologist and teacher to serve as a strong advocate for our profession and help to uphold the board's mission to protect the health, safety, and well-being of Montana citizens," noted Harp.

"I am fortunate to work with Tamara Harp," explained Karen VanDaveer, dean of Highlands College.

Through Tamara's leadership, the citizens of Montana will receive exceptional care."

Montana Tech offers an associate of applied science degree in radiologic technology. Students in the program learn to master the required technology as a radiographer and become vital patient care team members. With time spent in both clinical and classroom settings, students in the program experience hands-on, real-life experiences working with the latest equipment and technology, preparing them for ARRT certification and registration in radiography, and entering the workforce as registered radiologic technologists.
