"Hello, this is Mark MacBayne, practice administrator for hematology oncology at UCSF Medical Center. I'm here today to talk about how to become an MRI technologist. As with most radiology technologists, this is a two year program, typically resulting in an associate's degree. Many junior colleges offer programs in medical technology, and however there are also freestanding schools. The two year course of study teaches you in the machines that you'll be using, in this case MRI, and patient - aspects of patient care related to the use of MRI technology. Upon completing your two year associates program, you may or may not need to pass a licensing exam or registry exam, and at that point, having completed your formal education, are ready to apply for work as a MRI technologist. This is Mark MacBayne, practice administrator for hematology oncology at UCSF Medical Center."
