After your Bachelor's, it's another 4 years this time in medical school to get your M.D. Doctorate of Medicine degree. There are many medical schools all over the country, including CA and NY. Then it's 5 years of internship + radiology residency where you do your radiology training. You do your residency program at a teaching hospital, so that's when you look for the best radiology teaching program.
UCSF (Univ of CA at san francisco) is considered the top radiology program in CA. It is considered by many to be the most competitive (although not "the best") to get into in the country. I'm not sure what those previous programs listed were, but they were not radiology residency programs. Perhaps they were radiology technologist training programs. A radiologist is an M.D. who goes through 4 yrs undergrad, 4 years med school, 1 year general internship, 4 years residency and likely 1-3 years fellowship (14-16 yrs post high school) whereas a tech is a two yr program after high school (some prefer a 2-4 yr degree first though I believe).
Yes. The average salary is between $50,000 and $70,000 per year, during radiology residency training.
The best radiology schools to apply for include the University of Charleston, the University of Iowa and the University of St Francis. You will also need to do a residency in radiology afterwards.
First you have to go through and get a BA or BS degree then go to med school (4 years) then a 7 year residency in radiology.
Since Radiology is a very specialized course, and often requires 4 years of prior medical school just to get accepted into radiology residency programs, it may be in your best interests to not worry about going to school online. There is no chance that you can be certified as a radiologist without stepping into a live hospital environment. I would suggest finding a school that has integrated radiology into its 4 year introductory curriculum in medicine (such as the New York University) and then expanding off into a residency.
Radiology Tech programs are two-year programs offered by community colleges and technical schools. A radiologist is a physician ( M.D. or D.O. ) who, after four years of medical school, has undertaken a five-year residency in the field of radiology.
If you are referring to a physician with a specialty in radiography, then there will be an internship and residency requirement.

A radiologist is a physician who has complete a four-year undergrad degree, a medical degree and a 4-6 year residency in the field of radiology. Top radiology residency programs in the U.S. include Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, UCLA, Ohio State and Mass General.
Well first you have to finish two more years of undergrad, plus four more years of medical school then a six to eight year residency in radiology.. so, to be a radiologst your looking at twelve to fourteen more years. So good luck.
