School of Medical Imaging and Therapeutics
Location: Online | Start Term: Fall, Spring, Summer | Format: Part Time
This nine-credit, part-time online program is designed for working technologists with a current certification in radiography who are seeking mammography certification.
In this part-time online program, you can continue working while you earn a specialized computed mammography credential. Upon completion of the program, you will be equipped to safely acquire digital screening and diagnostic mammograms as well as assist with breast biopsies and other minimally invasive procedures. You’ll also be prepared to contribute to multidisciplinary teams in environments such as hospital radiology departments, emergency rooms, and out-patient ambulatory centers. Our program meets the structured education and clinical requirements for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) mammography exam. If you need only the structured education or clinical experience components of the program, you can customize your study accordingly.
