Limited License Radiology 

This course is designed to prepare students for entry-level employment as an x-ray technician. 

​

Many LRTs have previous CCMA and/or CNA experience.  Students will learn the fundamentals of radiography, including positioning, radiation safety, medical terminology, and anatomy and physiology. Radiation safety and maintenance of equipment are also addressed. The course includes both virtual lecture and in-person lab instruction, which enables students to practice the skills they are learning in class, including performing x-rays.  In addition to acquiring knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to be a limited license radiologic technologist, students will receive test preparation to help them prepare to take the American Allied Health Certification.

 

Radiologic technologists can expect to work in settings such as doctors offices, urgent care facilities, chiropractor’s offices, hospitals, and other medical facilities.

​

Students will be trained in the following: 

• Set up and operate x-ray machine

• Explain procedures to patients

• Work closely with patients

• Many radiologic technologists are also certified medical assistants or CNA’s and can expect to perform patient care activities.

After completion, students are eligible to sit for the American Allied Health certification exam
