how many years of school do you need to become a Radiologist?

Answer 1

Nine to eleven years, not counting pre-med.
Four years of medical school.
Another five years of residency (post-graduate traning).
The you can enter a fellowship program,for sub-specialty training, which lasts one to two years.

This is to become a Radiologist, not a Radiological Technician, which is a one to two year degree at a community college or technical school.

Radiologist Schooling Years

Answer 3

A radiologist is a doctor.
A radiology technician is not.
A radiologist needs a medical doctorate as any other doctor, which means...
4 year undergraduate degree (which some people have done in less)
3 years medical school
3-5 years residency
and years beyond that if you want to do a fellowship

Answer 5

Diagnostic radiologists must complete four years of medical school (M.D.) or the alternative, osteopathic school (D.O.) plus a five year of post-graduate training (residency). The first year of residency is a preliminary year in medicine, surgery or both, after which a four-year diagnostic radiology residency follows. During residency, both oral and written national examinations must be passed for board certification in diagnostic radiology. There are two separate written examinations required for certification by the American Board of Radiology, one covering the physics of medical imaging which is usually taken at the beginning of the second or third year, and a second covering clinical diagnostic imaging knowledge which is usually taken at the beginning of the third or fourth year. Both written exams must be passed before being eligible to take the oral examination, which is typically taken at the end of the fourth year. Many hospitals consider certification by the American Board of Radiology and by the American Osteopathic Board of Radiology to be nearly equivalent.

A Radiologic Technologist takes HS diploma or GED and completion of a 2 yr program at a Junior College. Average salary range is $32,700 to 53,900. You would wind up with an Associate degree and certificatoin of completion; national certification available through examination, state licensure required.

Answer 7

Usually, a technologist has undergone 1-4 years of formal training, leading to a certificate, associates degree, or bachelor's degree. With additional training, a technologist can specialize and work almost exclusively with specialized radiographic equipment. Radiographic Technologists are certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
