Should I get my B.S of clinical radiation sciences in radiography or radiation therapy?

I start at a 4-year university next Fall and I’m planning to major in clinical radiation sciences. I’m unsure if I should get my concentration in radiography or radiation therapy. To my understanding, rad tech is a starting point that you branch off from through completing other modality programs, whereas radiation therapy is one’s only modality. How do the lifestyles differ and how easy/difficult would it be to get a job post-graduation?

Also I’m premed. I decided to choose this major so that I have a backup career if I can’t get into medical school and also to accumulate clinical experience in the gap years I plan take after I graduate. Considering this, would y’all recommend I do my concentration in radiography or radiation therapy? Thank you so much :)

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

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/

Radiology program

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.
