Radiologic Tech Wants To Be Specialized In Sonography/ultrasound..?
I’m working towards a career to become a Radiologic Tech but, I truly want to specialize in Ultrasound. How do I go about doing so? Is it on hands training or do I need to continue my education after rad-tech school to become an ultrasound tech?
I was told to become an ultrasound tech you have to go to one more year of school.
I learned that most places would perfer someone with a rad tech background then get specialized in Ultrasound rather than go straight to a school that offers Sonograpy…
Please help!! Any Rad-techs specializing in Ultrasound???
