(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 09, 2012 ) La Prairie, Quebec -- The general manager on the Radiologic Technologist Schools website today announced that the key to success for radiology technician students is to specialize in one certain career. Students who are specialists in one field can command more money and will enjoy a longer and more rewarding career in the medical industry.
According to the senior writer on the website, a radiologic technologist handles more complex imaging procedures than a radiology technician and they work on more advanced medical equipment. Students can work towards becoming specialists on equipment such as the MRI and echocardiography which involves the ultrasound machine. Students must also learn about nuclear medicine in order to become a radiologic technologist.
Many radiology technician schools allow students to choose between careers and specialties which is a plus for students who are having trouble deciding on which career path to follow. However, itÂ’s a good idea for the prospective students to perform a little research into which schools offer which programs as not all technician schools will teach students to become specialists. In addition, many radiologic technologist schools, especially colleges or universities, offer several programs in their line-up.
A studentÂ’s chances for career growth opportunities and advancement are increased with continuing education so the more the student learns the more money he or she can earn. From technologist, students can become a radiologist assistant and be promoted to supervisor or chief radiologic technologist in the department.
While job opportunities for radiologic technologists are available in private clinics, clinical laboratories and other medical facilities, radiologic technologists are mostly employed in hospitals. The larger the hospital the more money a graduate will earn. Studies indicate that the highest paid radiology technicians and radiologic technologists are employed in major cities with large hospitals throughout the United States. Small town hospitals and rural clinics donÂ’t pay as well but they can be a good training ground for new graduates.
