Harding University Cardiac Function & Interventional Technology Program

Yesterday, our CFIT students were introduced to the cadaver lab—an invaluable opportunity to deepen their understanding of the human body and prepare for the work ahead.

We are incredibly thankful for Harding University’s Physical Therapy program and Dr. Anita Killins for leading this introduction and helping our students learn how to respectfully approach this important part of their education.

We are especially grateful to the donors who have generously given of themselves so that our students can learn, grow, and better understand the human body. We approach this experience with deep respect, gratitude, and a commitment to honor their generosity through our learning.

We are grateful for every person who makes opportunities like this possible for our CFIT students.

The new CFIT cohort has officially completed Pre-session.

We asked a few of our students to describe their first week at CFIT in just a few words—and their answers say it all!

From exciting to challenging to unforgettable, each response gives a glimpse into their experience so far.

This is just the beginning. We look forward to all that this year has in store!

There’s something special about a community that chooses to pour into the next generation.

During our CFIT Pre-session, several local businesses and community members generously provided lunch for our students—and we are incredibly grateful!

A huge thank-you to:
• Leon & Margaret Blue for bringing Wild Sweet Williams
• Bob & Ellen Watson for bringing This Guy’s
• Rees Jones & Simmons Bank for bringing KJ’s Market
• Tish Pace with RE/MAX for bringing Brick Oven Pizza
• James Gowen with State Farm for bringing Slim’s Chicken

We love the way the Searcy community has poured into our CFIT students—not just by providing a meal, but by reminding them that they are surrounded by people who believe in them.

And our hope is that someday, when these students are out working and serving in their own communities, they’ll remember what it looked like to be poured into—and choose to pour into others.

Thank you, Searcy for loving our students so well. We are grateful for you!

Last night was all about slowing down, connecting, and having a little fun!

CFIT students gathered at the Turley home for a relaxed welcome dinner filled with good food, games, laughter, and plenty of time to simply hang out and get to know one another. Before the busyness of the semester really gets going, it was a great opportunity to step away from the classroom and enjoy some time together.

We’re grateful for the chance to welcome this new group of students into the CFIT family. From shared meals to friendly competition and conversations around the table, nights like this are a reminder that CFIT is about more than earning a master’s degree—it’s about building relationships, creating community, and growing together.

We’re excited for all that’s ahead!

A strong start begins with strong leadership.

We were honored to welcome Harding University President Mike Williams to CFIT as our newest cohort begins their journey. His words of encouragement, vision, and support reminded our students that what they’re learning here is about more than a degree—it’s about preparing to make a meaningful impact in the cardiac device industry.

We’re grateful for leaders who take the time to invest in our students and remind them of the purpose behind the journey.

Pre-session is going strong!

Our CFIT Class of 2027 is already learning, connecting, and building the foundation for an incredible journey ahead. The excitement is real, and we’re just getting started.

Here’s to a strong start and an even brighter future!

The countdown is almost over.

Today, the CFIT faculty and staff gathered to make final plans before welcoming the Class of 2027 this Thursday.

From reviewing schedules to coordinating the details, every meeting brings us one step closer to another incredible year.

We’re grateful for a team that is passionate about investing in our students and excited to see what this next cohort will accomplish.

Pre-session starts Thursday—we can’t wait!
