Study Radiography at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
As a radiologic technologist, you're responsible for capturing the clear images that show physicians what’s going on inside patients’ bodies. On a given day, you could be in the OR taking x-rays during surgery, dealing with real-life emergencies in the ER, or working in a diagnostic room to help doctors diagnose everything from broken bones to cancerous tumors. All while making patients feel comfortable and cared for.
