Looking Ahead
My second semester of Radiography school is coming to a close, and I find myself thinking about what I want to do with this education when I graduate in May of 2009. In my first year of clinical rotations, I have worked in an outpatient imaging center, two hospitals, and one orthopedic office. Those three environments pretty much cover the complete spectrum of x-ray work.
I see certain advantages of working in each of these environments. What I need is some feedback from people who work in the field and other students who have spent more time thinking about what they want to do with their education in radiography. If you read this blog, please take a few minutes when you get a chance and let me know what your opinions are on the subject of the various working environments for radiographic technicians.
Dear John,
It’s a brave step when you made out a decision to enroll in Radiography- even you are 39.
I’m 27 where i have been practicing radiography for the past 5 yearsin Malaysia. I’m too still doing Radiography programme (distance education), now in Charles Sturt University Australia. Currently i’m in the final semester. Wishfully, i can graduate this coming November. I found radiography is a great profession, you will feel appreciated if you captured a nice image (which can demonstrate the pathologies), it’s just similiar like photography. Indeed, i love photography too.
