As imaging workforce shortages persist nationwide, Emory’s Radiologic Technology Certificate Program is helping grow Georgia’s imaging workforce by training the next generation of radiologic technologists as it enters its seventh decade.

Hosted at Emory Decatur Hospital, the program is one of Emory’s longest-running clinical training initiatives. Founded in 1962, the full-time, 24-month program accepts 19 to 25 students each year and supports up to 50 students at a time, according to a Dec. 30 news release.

Participants gain hands-on experience in general X-ray, trauma imaging and fluoroscopy, with rotations in CT, MRI and mammography.

About 70% of graduates accept positions within Emory Healthcare within a year of completing the program. To date, approximately 1,100 technologists have completed the training.
