There is a school that just opened near my area that takes 22 months to become an MRI Technologist. The only drawback is that I will not get a certificate in Radiologic technology. Therefore I will not be able to give x-rays.
Should I consider this program? I’ve applied to a few Radiologic Technicians schools already, but the wait list is ridiculously long.
I’m almost finished with my radiologic technology schooling from an accredited program and I’m looking for somewhere to receive a MRI certificate. Is there really that many out there, or is it mostly on the job training? I’m going into radiation therapy in a few years, but would like to have the ability to work in the MRI field in the mean time. I’m looking for locations near Toledo, Ohio and Pensacola, Florida. Any help is appreciated, I can’t find anything specific in google searches where it just brings up x-ray tech schools. Thanks!
I would also like the names an location of places with that program.
The school I’m looking at has radiography science degree for radiologic technologists and then afterwards you can get into a sonography program for an advanced certificate. They also have a bachelor’s degree for sonography. If you can’t tell, I really want to be a sonographer! I just don’t know which route to take, would I be more valuable to a future employer to get a radiography degree first or does it matter?
Thanks for any advice!
