Hello,
I'd like to get some advice from people in the radiology field with regards to the best approach to become a Radiology Technician. I curently hold a Bachelors in Computer Science, however, I have lost passion for computers and have been thinking of making a career change. I have read that there are basically three ways to become a Rad Tech, Associates degree which I don't know if it makes sense since I already hold a BS(just seems like I'd be going backwards) or a certification program which I am having a hard time finding a school that offers certfication programs. Can someone please give me some advice or any information to help me get started. I believe I read that starting in 2015 certification programs will no longer be accepted if you want to be certified by AART. I'd like some comments from people that have made a career change. I currently work full time , is it possible to achieve this or would I have to go to school full time( being realistic about it).Thank you.
