DMI Program Hosts Induction Ceremony
By Office of the President | Mar 20, 2023
The Diagnostic Medical Imaging (DMI) Sonography Program in the School of Health Professions recently hosted the 6th Annual New York Pi Chapter, Lambda Nu Honor Society Induction Ceremony at Downstate.
Lambda Nu is the national honor society for the Radiologic and Imaging Sciences. The name symbolizes the inverse relationship between wavelength (λ) and frequency (v), which is fundamental in the profession’s imaging techniques. Its capital form, Λ, and Ν represent the balance and delicacy of the art and science inherent in the radiologic and imaging sciences professions.
The purpose of the Downstate Lambda Nu Honor Society Chapter is to:
- Foster academic scholarship at the highest academic levels;
- Promote research and investigation in the radiologic and imaging sciences;
- Recognize exemplary scholarship;
- Foster highly skilled, knowledgeable, and caring individuals that can provide quality patient care in the medical community.
Membership in the honor society is by invitation and requires a grade point average of 3.5 or better and enrollment as a full-time medical imaging student. Applicants must also demonstrate professional commitment, pursue or have completed an independent research project, and actively participate in campus-wide student committees and medical-imaging activities.
