I live in San Diego County, 41 years old, stay home dad with three kids, I do part time Ebay for some extra income, and my wife has a great job. My youngest will be in kindergarten this year, And I will be looking into getting training for a new path in life. I am hearing that the medical field is a good direction to move towards, specifically radiology, X Ray Tech maybe?
Where do I start???
Thanks for any help!!
I want to get into ultra sound or as a x-ray tech, where should I start? Where would I find an accredited program?
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.
Most community colleges and junior colleges offer programs leading to certification as a Radiologic Technologist. Then once you are working in that field your employer will often arrange and finance your training in specialties such as MRI, CT, PET or interventional radiological subspecialties.
The correct title is Radiologic Technologist and California has many schools, check out the link. www.csrt.org/schools.pdf
I’m having a hard time sifting through all the information on the net, and a hard time finding schools near the Portland ME area. My goal is to become an MRI specalist. Does anybody have infor for me on schools and steps I will need to take to become specalized in MRI? I already have a bachelor’s degree (Exercise Science) so is there a way to shorten the training process do to the fact that I have already taken many college courses (including many math and science courses). Please let me know if you have any info on any part of this very long question.
I know a high school diploma, but how many years of college? What courses will I have to take in college? How many degrees must I obtain?
Is there such a thing as an MRI doctor? Like for example, they tell the patients what is wrong with their X Rays and them, and then administer course of treatment.
If there is such a thing as an MRI Doctor, what is it called? I heard something that it could be related to a radiology doctor.
I am starting my senior year in high school currently and I am interested in become an MRI Tech. I have heard about a 2 year program to become one but I doubt its that easy to become an MRI Technician. Can anyone please assist me with this?
What and how much education would I need?
What else would I have to do after college?
How much is ones salary?
And I greatly appreciate any help I can get, Thanks!
I just graduated from high school. And i am really interested in becoming a MRI Technician but i find alot of misleading information on the internet.
Are a Radiologist technician and a MRI Technician the same thing? I know that radiololgies and MRI’s are totallt different.
And how do the salaries differ between the different MRI Technicians?
How do I find a good school in my area? Do the techs that do cat scans, MRIs, and mammographies make more money then just an xray tech??
