Tech Terms List
2010

I am interested in becoming an x-ray tech?
I have a question: I read that it is better to go to a teaching hospital recommended training / center of that a technical school. The school I was thinking of going to college is called Maric, but the course they offer sounds strange. Limited scope x-ray tech / travel asistant medicine. Than I would be placed on the waiting list until space is open for the full x-ray tech. I've been told that this course is very expensive about $ 40,000 and I think it's a fancier term for asistant doctor and I do not want to be a doctor. Maric College is a technical school here in Los Angeles, California. I'm wondering if anyone can help me and tell me if there is a better alternative to this course. And part 2 how do I get to work after I finish school. I see ads with this type of work requires 1-2 years of experience in working .. 'm A 39 y / o and I need to get in a much better field of work. Please if anyone have the answer for me I would be grateful. thanks
If you are not interested in being a medical assistant, I would not waste my time or money in this program. Since you seem to want to do x-ray, I would try to go straight to a radiologic technology program. After graduating from an IR program, and get Excuse me, sometimes your best job opportunities in the facilities where you did your clinical rotations. These facilities were able to see it "In action", then you need to impress them from the get go. There are many schools where you can get trained to be a radiological technician (The appropriate term for an x-ray tech). You can attend a hospital based program (and earn a certificate), a 2-year college program (AS degree), and even a four-year college (bachelor's). The hospital-based programs are the least expensive, and honestly, I think the education received is higher. Once you graduate and take the exam registration, no future employer is going to care what kind of educational program you went through. All they care about your license. You can find accredited RT program at this site. Just "search" radiography and your state … links are provided, which will give you more information about each program (cost, duration of the program, contact person): http://www.jrcert.org/cert/Search.jsp Maric College is on this list, but is very expensive, over $ 19,000. There are three schools in Los Angeles. The cost of tuition for these programs is $ 8200, $ 1755 and $ 936. There are also programs in Northridge, Pasadena, and Rancho Cucamonga. RTs do more than X-rays of bones. We do fluoroscopy studies (involving the intestinal tract and barium), arthrography (Watch the radiologist with injecting contrast or dye into joints for evaluation) and myelograms (assisting the radiologist with injecting contrast into spinal canal). If you work in a hospital, you will do portable exams in ICU, CCU, ER and even surgery. Some RTs take x-rays in the morgue. Most RTs will also become proficient and licensed in other modalities such as mammography, CT scan and / or MRI. This training does not require any additional formal training, and is usually acquired at work. The more licenses you have, the more money you can make as you go be in greater demand. With additional schooling, you can also do ultrasound. Unless you go to an accredited RT program (ie if you did reach limited / medical assistant program), you would not be able to do most, if not all, of these procedures and modalities.
