I'm sorry - what's the question?

You are graduate in the ph ... are you asking about having been educated somewhere other than the US?

If you are, you'll need to go to the ARRT website. Review the information available there about what foreign educational programs are acceptable to the ARRT - not many outside the US are. (Currently only some programs accredited in Canada and Australia are accredited).

In the Educational Program FAQ's is this Q/A -

Question: I was educated outside the U.S. How can I become certified with the ARRT?
Answer: Graduates from programs that are not accredited by a mechanism acceptable to the ARRT should seek advanced placement in an accredited program. Upon meeting the program's graduation requirements and receiving the program director's final endorsement on the application, the candidate may apply. ARRT's primary eligibility pathway to certification requires graduation from an educational program accredited by a mechanism acceptable to the ARRT. Currently accepted programmatic accreditation mechanisms include the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT), the Joint Review Committee on Education in Nuclear Medicine Technology (JRCNMT), and the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Programs (CAAHEP/JRCDMS). Programs housed in post-secondary institutions accredited by a regional accreditation agency (more specifically, the commissions responsible for accrediting degree-granting institutions) are also accredited by a mechanism acceptable to the ARRT. The Conjoint Secretariat of the Canadian Medical Association and the Australian Institute of Radiography are recognized as acceptable accreditation mechanisms.
