Cephus Simmons graduated in 2012 with a Master’s in Radiologic Science from the Division of Radiologic Science within the UNC School of Medicine’s Department of Allied Health Sciences. A 25-year career in the radiology field cultivated his affinity for innovative problem-solving, leading to his most recent endeavor – the launch of SealCath and a shift to full-time business owner.
Cephus Simmons’s career is nothing short of extraordinary. What began as four years working as a hospital corpsman in the U.S. Navy has progressed to the launch of his own business, SealCath, with a stop in Chapel Hill along the way.
Simmons graduated in 2007 from the Post-baccalaureate Radiologist Assistant program and later in 2012 with a Master’s in Radiologic Science from the Division of Radiologic Science within the UNC School of Medicine’s Department of Allied Health Sciences. His time in Chapel Hill was unique – he was a nontraditional student with more than a decade of work experience, four children and a full-time job after class.
“The knowledge I gained during my time at UNC was excellent,” says Simmons. “Even though I had been working in radiology for years, what I learned within the Radiologist Assistant program shifted the way I thought about approaching procedures and supported my career growth.”
