Radiologic Technology - Mountwest Community and Technical College

Radiologic Technology from Mountwest Community and Technical College is a Campus Associate Radiology degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. Program Description: The Radiologic Technology Program is a cooperative effort between Mountwest and Collins Career Center (CCC). The student should complete or be enrolled in all pre-radiologic admission course before applying to the program. Career Outlook: Job opportunities are expected to be favorable. Some employers report difficulty hiring sufficient numbers of radiologic technologists and technicians. Imbalances between the demand for, and supply of, radiologic technologists and technicians should spur efforts to attract and retain qualified workers, such as improved compensation and working conditions. Radiologic technologists who also are experienced in more complex diagnostic imaging procedures, such as CT and MRI, will have better employment opportunities, brought about as employers seek to control costs by using multi-skilled employees. Hospitals will remain the principal employer of radiologic technologists and technicians. However, a greater number of new jobs will be found in offices of physicians and diagnostic imaging centers. Health facilities such as these are expected to grow rapidly through 2014, due to the strong shift toward outpatient care, encouraged by third-party payers and made possible by technological advances that permit more procedures to be performed outside the hospital. Some job openings also will arise from the need to replace technologists and technicians who leave the occupation.
