The Radiologic Technology Program prepares the student to become an essential member
of the health care team. The student radiographer learns about the characteristics
and potential hazards of radiation, and applies this knowledge to produce quality
diagnostic images which will assist the physician in the diagnosis and treatment of
injuries and diseases.
The York Technical College Radiologic Technology Program is accredited by the:
Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology 20 North Wacker Drive, Suite 2850 Chicago, IL 60606-3182 312-704-5300 Email: mail@jrcert.org
The program's current accreditation award is 8 years. General program accreditation
