A Radiologist Assistant university in Wisconsin?


I'm interested in pursuing a career as a radiologist assistant but I plan on going to a 4 year to get my Bachelor's degree and then 2 years for radiology. The problem is, I don't think Wisconsin has a school for radiology other than a 2 year technical college for it down by Milwaukee. Does anybody know if any UW has radiology or do I just get a bachelors in biology and then pursue a 2 year program at a technical school for radiology?

An order to do RT assistant you have to be registered as an RT (aka ARRT). you'll also need work experience. I'd recommend doing a 4 years Radiologic Science. for Wisonsin, the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MILWAUKEE does has a B.S in Radiologic Technology. There are other schools that offer such program within WI: CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY-WISCONSIN and MOUNT MARY COLLEGE If you're interested in doing a B.S in Radiation Therapy, UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - LA CROSSE has a good program. Good luck.

What about this: http://www.aurorahealthcare.org/services/radiology/schools.asp A girl I used to work was a secretary at the hospital and went into the radiology program, they gave her secretarial work when she could work around the program a few hours and she now is working at the hospital in radiology after finishing the program. Seems good cuz you learn and then they give you a job.
