Radiology Program is a continuous 24-month program which begins each year in the Summer semester. The program is designed to prepare a radiographer to perform diagnostic procedures in a Medical Imaging Sciences department, as well as other health settings. JRCERT accreditation qualifies all graduates of the Radiology Program to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technology (ARRT), Diagnostic Radiography Certification Examination (provided they have not been convicted of a felony), and the California Department of Public Health fluoroscopy examination. Anyone convicted of a misdemeanour or felony may not qualify to take the ARRT certification exam.
