Welcome to the Radiologic Technology Program
Radiologic Technology Day and Evening Applications.
If you are excited about becoming a well-rounded, knowledgeable Radiologic Technologist, this is the program for you.
Radiologic Technologists are trained healthcare professionals who perform medical imaging to assist a physician in diagnosing a patient's injury or illness. There are many components to obtaining high quality diagnostic images such as proper use of the equipment, positioning of the patient, selecting adequate technical factors, following radiation safety regulations, etc.
Our rigorous program will provide you with hands-on training in various medical facilities throughout Northern California in addition to what is taught in the classroom. Please view this Radiologic Technology Information Session module for more details.
Radiologic Technology is offered as a day or evening program.
