How Do You Train As A Radiologist?
A radiologist works with various high-tech imaging equipment to help diagnose medical conditions. To train in this medical specialty, you need an excellent academic record and solid recommendations from your dean or residency director. Ask local hospitals whether they have programs that lead to a radiological technician certificate. These programs aren’t as intensive as a full 4-year college degree, but they do train you to work with medical imaging technology. Dental hygienist programs also give you some basic radiology training in taking and developing x-rays. Start your radiology training as an undergraduate by finding a research project that lets you use medical imaging. Depending on the size and funding of your university, you may not have access to this equipment. If this is the case, ask your professors if they can put you in touch with a school that will let you use its facilities. Attend a radiology graduate school for further training and coursework.
