There are many different factors to take into consideration when choosing the right X-Ray Tech school for your needs, and we’ve covered most of those factors in another blog, so today we’ll be focusing on not only becoming an X-Ray Technician in California, but going beyond passing the CDPH-RHB State Examinations in order to thrive in your new career in the medical industry.

After You’ve Completed the X-Ray Technician Program in Orange County

For X-Ray Tech students, there is a post-graduate California CDPH-RHB State X-Ray Examination. Modern Technology School Graduates of the X-Ray program are eligible to take the California State X-Ray Technician Examination, in the appropriate training categories. The examination can be scheduled at multiple testing centers throughout California after graduation and it is the final step to hopefully gaining willful employment as an X-Ray Technician.

Once these steps have successfully been completed, you will have earned the opportunity to become an X-Ray Technician in the state of California. Now while it might seem simple to do just about anywhere on paper, there’s certainly a lot more factors to consider when choosing the right X-Ray Technician school in California to not only help prepare you for the X-Ray Tech CA State Exams (CDPH-RHB), but also to provide you with a solid foundation that you can apply for many years to come in your new Radiology career. But where do you start?

What to Look for in the Best X-Ray & Medical Assistant School in California

If you’re considering a career as an X-Ray Technician or in one of the many professions within the medical field, you’re going to want to find a Radiology or X-Ray School that goes above and beyond just the California CDPH-RHB X-Ray Technician Examination. Much like a world class athlete or lawyer would seek out the best school or schools available to them in order to increase their chances of not only passing their tests, but to excel and become front-runners in their respective fields, you’ll want to do the same. X-Ray Technician School is no different and so the first thing you’ll want to do is find the right Radiology school and get the best education as well as hands-on training available, from an accredited and well-known medical institution.

The second step is to make sure that the school you’ve chosen is not only approved by the regulation boards and governing bodies at the state, but that it is also accredited. Lastly, you’ll want to see what professional memberships the school has, and whether or not factors like bi-lingual study and courses in English and Spanish as well as financial aid come into the picture when making a decision on the right school for your specific needs. Finally, does the school offer day and evening X-Ray Tech classes?

So what does it mean to go beyond simple preparation for the California X-Ray Technician Exams and your regular course of study? The medical industry and Radiology is ever-changing and the need for licensed X-Ray Technicians, Medical Assistants and Radiology experts and interns grows exponentially every year. It’s important to prep to pass the State X-Ray License Exam or CDPH-RHB, but it’s also vital to be a part of a medical and radiology school that holds its instructors and lecturers to the rigorous radiology & medical industry standards… the same standards that are changing subtly each day.
