Are you a Radiologist looking to become certified as a MRI Technologist?
The two-semester Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) program is designed to prepare registered, certified imaging professionals for immediate employment in the workplace as MRI Technologists in hospitals, clinics and medical offices, as well as in education, sub-specialization, sales and applications, and administration.
The MRI program emphasizes that quality patient care will be provided by individuals who have received instruction based on educational and instructional guidelines consistent with the profession. You will learn to utilize strong magnetic fields on humans for diagnostic, therapeutic or research purposes and perform MRI procedures and related techniques producing data at the request of and interpretation by a licensed independent practitioner.
The program accepts and starts a new class during the fall semester each year. Upon successful completion of all program requirements and obligations to the college, students are awarded a Certificate in Magnetic Resonance Imaging and may sit for the professional Registry exam sponsored by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). A minimum score of 75 on the three national post-primary certification examinations is required for certification as a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologist.
