Is it possible to get a certificate before an associates?

I'm interested in becoming a radiologic technologist and have found a accredited associates program I am interested in. The only problem is I don't think I can afford to take two years off to go through a program. Is it possible to get a certificate as something like an x ray tech first which would only be about one year, then try to save up money from that job? I understand that the more skills you have (CT, MRI, Sono, etc) increases your employment opportunity and salary which is why I'd like to get an associate's then try for other specialized certificates. It just seems like x ray tech is kind of at the bottom and you work your way up from there.

Tldr; can I get an x ray tech certificate if I haven't gone through an associates program?

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
