Is acceptance really that competitive? Am I understanding this correctly.

By

I always heard of the various imaging disciplines as a low barrier of entry path to a decent salary. I figured it only requires 2 years of education so it must be easier and have less commitment than a 4 year bachelor's in marketing/etc.

Looking into it, in Atlanta GA there are only a few programs accredited for an associates in Radiologic Technology. 1 accredited by JRCERT and 3 for ARRT. That 1 JRCERT program accepts only 7 candidates a year and the others don't seem much better. First you have to take 2-3 semesters of Anatomy-Physiology/English/Biology/Math/Health classes, max of 2 attempts. Only after that are you able to apply to the actual radiology program. After 2 years of that you can take the exam and qualify for ~$25 hour pay which is not exactly wonderful pay.

The other imaging declines don't seem much better and in general it seems though all programs in the area are competitive and require a pretty strong commitment before even being accepted but not the most amazing pay. Am I oversimplifying/misunderstanding the prospect?

Radiology program

By
I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.

Onetonline salary search change?

By
Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.
