Changing careers and looking into becoming a radiologist, need guidance!

By

Hello all! I hope this is the right community, and if not, please kindly direct me in the right direction to ask my question!

So I went to college and graduated with my bachelors in German (was planning on teaching it) in December 2017. I’ve always had a itching to go into the medical field, but have always put it on the back burner. Now that I have realized that teaching German is not what I want to do, my husband has given me the green light to move forward with my dreams to go into the medical field.

I want to become a radiologist, but I’m not sure where I should start. I don’t have many science related courses due to my previous degree, so I was considering attending my local community college to get an Associates in Science, and then use that knowledge to go into med school. Or should I go back for a more science related bachelors degree, and then go into med school after that?

I tried to scour the Internet but there’s not many people in my position that I’ve been able to find lol.

So what do you suggest? What would be my best option?

I appreciate your help!

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
