12-Month X-ray Tech Program: Get All-Inclusive X-ray Technician Training in Orange County

Our latest 12-Month X-ray Tech program class starts May 28th at Modern Technology School. Because there’s often a lot to consider with any X-ray Technician school or program, we wanted to try and simplify things. Many students who are considering a career as an X-ray Technician in California don’t know where to start. They have a tough time comparing apples to apples. With all the marketing out there, it’s not easy ensuring they’re receiving the best value and education for their tuition.

Moreover, many of the students we meet are brand new to Diagnostic Healthcare. They aren’t sure about what some of the industry terms mean. Furthermore, they’re unsure about which X-ray Tech school to trust or where to enroll in Orange County. That said, we wanted to create an informative article to help you find the best 12-Month X-ray Tech program for your needs.

Together, we’ll cover things like why clinical internship is vital, and why medical assistant cross-training is too! We’ll also take added value that schools put into each program and lay them out for you in order to help you identify your own specific needs when choosing an X-ray Technician college.

Look for Clinical Internship, Medical Assisting Cross-Training and Accreditation in a 12-Month X-ray Tech Program

These are three things that are often overlooked by people who want to become an X-ray Technician in California. Ask your X-ray Tech School if they are accredited, and if so, by which accrediting body. For instance, Modern Technology School is accredited by the ACCSC. This means we undergo routine check-ups and have to live up to a third party’s standards. This is vital for any Healthcare school or tech school you attend in California.

Another thing to watch out in any 12-month X-ray Tech program, is ensuring that Clinical Internship is part of the package. This means that you won’t have to go searching for your own internship after the X-ray Technician program ends. Instead, the school will appoint you to one of its partnered clinics. Here, you’ll work (intern) in a live clinical setting and work alongside other more experienced X-ray Techs. You’ll also work alongside a clinical staff, physician and with real patients.

Lastly, if you’re planning on becoming an X-ray Technician in California, you’ll want to find one that offers built-in medical assistant cross-training. This is vital because CA healthcare employers are looking for a hybrid of X-ray Tech and Medical Assistant. It also puts more skills on your tool belt and makes you look more desirable to prospective employers. This is usually a bonus at any 12-month X-ray Tech program worth their salt.

What’s Included as Part of an All-Inclusive 12-Month X-ray Tech Program?

In our X-ray Technician / Medical Assistant program, you get everything you need in order to begin searching for a career as an X-ray Technician & Medical Assistant in California.
