California college graduate interested in Rad Tech career. Where do I begin?

By

I have a degree in biomedical science and minor in chemistry. My undergrad GPA was not great, so I was somewhat limited in terms of what I could do, but I've always been interested in medical technology related careers.

In the area I live in, a community College (Los Rios system) is offering a rad tech program for CT/MRI/VIR, but they require me to be certified as a radiologic technologist in my state. I looked this up and it lead me to ARRT's certification exams, and now I'm confused. There seem to be multiple different exams so I'm not sure what to do from here. Am I assuming correctly that I only need to study for and take the Radiography Exam? Or do I have to take an exam for every listed subject (Radiation therapy, Mammography, etc.)?

Any advice on taking the first steps would be highly appreciated.

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/
