How to become a temporary radiology technologist?

To become a temporary radiology technologist, you must complete a certificate training program from a vocational school or earn an associate or a bachelor's degree in radiologic technology. These programs may take from six months to four years to complete and include classroom learning and clinical training. Once you finish schooling, most states require you to obtain a license to practice, which entails passing a state exam or the examination administered by The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Many employers prefer candidates who have several years of industry experience. Other qualifications include a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. Some temporary positions may require you to travel outside of your local area or work nights and weekends.
