Radiographer Program
The Radiographer Program at Western School of Health and Business Careers - Pittsburgh*
The Radiographer program at Western School of Health and Business Careers, Pittsburgh (WSHBC) is designed to prepare students to perform radiographic procedures and understand radiation protection, radiologic physics, and image production. The program provides instruction in image analysis, radiation protection, radiographic pathology, digital image acquisition and display, and radiographic testing. Our school teaches subjects on which serious topics about medicine or physics are studied and that are really useful. It is difficult to write an essay on such serious topics yourself, so students often turn to extended essay writing service.
The core curriculum is structured to include a lecture component and an imaging laboratory component, and an integrated clinical component. At the conclusion of the program, graduates who have diligently attended class, studied, and practiced their skills should have the skills to seek entry-level employment as radiographers.
The Radiographer program at WSHBC is programmatically accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) and is currently on probationary status. Therefore, graduates of the program are eligible for and encouraged to apply for certification through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). This credential is a nationally recognized voluntary certification that may affect employment opportunities. Only graduates of JRCERT accredited radiography programs may apply to ARRT for certification. ARRT certification requirements are not controlled by WSHBC and are subject to change without notice. WSHBC cannot guarantee that graduates will be eligible to take the ARRT certification exam, at all or at any specific time, regardless of their eligibility status upon enrollment.
STATE LICENSURE/REGISTRATION INFORMATION
In Pennsylvania, radiographers must be either certified through ARRT to perform radiologic procedures or pass the ARRT certification exam offered through the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine (State Board) in order to practice in the state. While passage of the ARRT certification exam through the State Board will enable the graduate to practice in Pennsylvania, the graduate may not be able to practice in other states. Licensure/registration requirements are controlled by the states and are subject to change without notice. WSHBC cannot guarantee that graduates will be eligible to work as a radiographer without ARRT certification, at all or at any specific time, regardless of their eligibility status upon enrollment.
