Radiologic Technology, A.A.A.S.

GRCC RadTech graduates are prepared for a career in diagnostic medical imaging as a registry-eligible radiographer, with skills in:

• Radiography.
• Critical thinking.
• Communication.
• Radiation safety.
• Patient care.

This program requires attendance for five semesters, including one summer semester. The practical experiences you will have in off-site clinics will heighten your awareness of patient communication practices and acquaint you with all phases of radiologic technology practice, which often varies from hospital to hospital. The personal contacts you develop will often help you in your job search after graduation.
