This is, of course, in addition to being able to both learn and recall the intricacies of human anatomy that will be essential in these interpretations. The minimum level of education required to become an MRI technologist assuming they do not want to pursue ARRT certification is an accredited certificate program from a community college or hospital.
These programs, which can last anywhere from a few months to about a year, teach the basics of MRI technology to those with at least a high school diploma or GED. MRI technologists can go on to have supervisory roles in hospitals once they have gained experience in the field. The amount of experience necessary in order to become a supervisor will be dependent on many factors, including the size of the staff and the demand for MRI services. MRI tech programs typically require students to have completed high school or obtained a GED in order to be eligible for admission.
Students who wish to pursue a career as an MRI tech should focus on science and math classes while in high school. Additionally, completing AP classes and earning college credit by taking the related AP tests will give students a head start on their college education.
Many professionals in this field have earned an associate degree. Students should ensure the program they complete is accredited as this ensures a minimum quality of education and is typically required for certification. Applicants must provide documentation of 2, hours at a certified apprenticeship.
Those not pursuing ARMRIT may still find an apprenticeship or clinical work experience to be a valuable asset when applying for work. While certification is not required to work as an MRI tech, the reality is very few employers will hire someone without one. Both certifications require students to complete MRI tech studies and pass an exam. Licensing is done on a state by state basis and applicants should contact their local boards to learn about testing and education requirements.
