Nirah’s Answer

Radiology is a medical specialty. To become a radiologist, you have to first complete medical school (or veterinary school to be a veterinary radiologist). After you have your MD or DVM degree, to become a radiologist, you have to complete a radiology residency (where you work and learn under the supervision of board-certified radiologists), and then pass the radiology board exam.
So, there really isn’t radiology school. Getting into radiology residency programs is competitive, as these programs typically only exist at large teaching hospitals. There are a lot fewer veterinary radiology programs than human medicine programs (but also fewer applicants). The radiology exam is more difficult (has a lower pass rate) than the general medical board exam that you take at the end of vet school or medical school. However, the residency itself is a very different experience than being in vet school- it is mostly hands-on work experience, with no classes (though there are workshops, seminars, and other learning opportunities).

Julio’s Answer

Hello Jazmine, I tell you that both are sciences but veterinary medicine covers many parts of the sciences as are physiology, surgery among others while radiology is only responsible for part of image analysis and the use of this technology
