Hello!
I'm starting a RA/RPA thread. Please post.

Are their jobs for RA/RPA's? Where?

I also want to know if there are still jobs for Radiologist assistants. I also would like to know what is the quickest and smoothest way to go from an associates to the Radiologist Assistant. Ive heard that there are sometimes tracks that will cut a year off. Suppose you go for the BS and MS at the same time, it might only take 3 years as opposed to getting the BS(2), and then getting the MS which would take 2 for a combination of four years. But where are these schools? And are there jobs? Any one gone through any of these programs yet? Are they ridiculously intense and difficult? Ah, and one more thing - how difficult are these schools admissions?

Thanks! Question

For ACCURATE information about RA and RPA, go to the ARRT website here

RPS's and RA's do NOT need Master's level degrees - it's a Baccalaureate role.
