Radiography (Florida Community College Option) (2154) |
| |
|
| |
Radiographers, under the supervision of a radiologist, play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and trauma. Radiographers perform x-ray examinations of systems of the body, including the skeletal, respiratory, circulatory, nervous and digestive systems. Graduates of the Florida Community College Radiography program are eligible to take the nationally recognized American Registry of Radiologic Technologist (ARRT) examination immediately after graduation. This credential offers the radiographer excellent employment opportunities as well as a competitive salary.
This limited access program is designed for individuals who wish to become certified in radiography. You are strongly advised to complete as many of the general education courses as possible before applying to the program. A minimum grade of C must be maintained in all radiography courses in order to continue in the program. A brochure outlining costs, requirements, deadlines and procedures is available from the radiography/allied health department on North Campus.
