Thank you comment icon Sure thing! I'd love to help you out, but I need a bit more detail. Are you interested in becoming a radiologist, a doctor who specializes in this field? Or are you curious about roles like an X-ray technician, sonographer, or MRI and CT technician? Any extra info you can provide would be great! Martin Schoen

Radiologic Technologist (Radiographer)
- Education: Complete an accredited radiologic technology program, typically an associate's degree (2 years) or a bachelor's degree (4 years).
- Certification: Obtain certification from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) or equivalent body.
- Licensing: Depending on the state, you may need to obtain a license to practice.

Radiologist (MD or DO)
- Education: Complete a bachelor's degree, preferably with a strong emphasis on science courses.
- Medical School: Attend and graduate from an accredited medical school (MD or DO program).
- Residency: Complete a radiology residency program, which typically lasts 4-5 years.
- Board Certification: Obtain certification from the American Board of Radiology (ABR) or an equivalent board.

Great career goal!! Go for it!!! All the best to you!
