X-ray technicians are in high demand at medical facilities around the world, and they’re often able to find high paying jobs in major cities. As such, demand for x-ray tech schools has spiked in the last few years as people look for ways to join this exciting and engaging field. However, not all x-ray tech schools are equal, and some provide a much better learning environment for their students than others.
To spot a good x-ray tech school, it’s important to know about certifications and how they work for x-ray technicians. Certifications are required by many states for anyone associated with health care, and certainly people in diagnostic medicine such as x-ray technicians. The coursework and requirements for x-ray techs vary from state to state, but it’s always important to be certified before looking for a job. Good x-ray tech training courses and schools lead their students through the certification process, and in some cases, certification is an actual part of the course. You’ll have to research your state’s certification requirements before finding a school. If you’re looking at a school that isn’t based in your state, be sure to ask about cross-state certifications, especially if you’re applying to an online school.
Many x-ray tech schools offer college degrees. A BS in radiologic technology can be very helpful when trying to get a job as a technician, particularly in large areas. Some schools will also provide programs to help their students find jobs assisting x-ray technicians or even working as x-ray techs straight after graduation. These schools tend to be among the most reputable, and their resources can be extremely valuable for any new graduate.
Be sure to read up on various x-ray tech courses before taking one, whether you go online or offline. Look for student reviews, and ask for graduation statistics. With the right training, becoming an x-ray technician may not be as difficult as you think--it simply requires a lot of hard work and the right school or college.
