The San Joaquin General Hospital-Radiologic Technology Program is a two-year program in which graduates receive a certificate. Graduates are eligible to complete state certification examinations qualifying them to practice as a Certified Radiologic Technologists (CRT) in the state of California. With the additional, complementary completion of a degree, graduates are eligible to partake in national boards to become Registered Radiologic Technologists (RT-ARRT). Those accepted without a degree must have completed additional specified general education coursework to assure concurrent graduation from Delta College at the time of graduation from the school. Beginning in 2015 possession of an associate degree became a requirement for taking the National Board Exam (ARRT). Recognizing that Certification and Registration are intermediary to satisfying our program goals -- Students / Graduates will be adequately prepared to become entry-level radiographers/professionals in the field of Medical Imaging --a major focus will be assuring degree completion either prior to or concurrent with program graduation. Radiologic Technologists work in the x-ray departments of hospitals, surgical centers, physicians' offices, and clinics.

Sponsorship
The School of Radiologic Technology is sponsored by San Joaquin General Hospital. Students are awarded a graduation certificate upon the completion of 24 months of full-time professional studies at San Joaquin General Hospital. Through a partnership with San Joaquin Delta College, students are awarded academic credit for coursework completed at the school. Therefore, students accepted into the program must enroll for classes through Delta College. A certificate is awarded by the school for completion of all major coursework (classroom, laboratories, and clinical experience) in Radiography. Starting in 2013, students entering the program without a prior degree will undergo graduation checks at Delta to assure satisfaction of all remaining general education/degree requirements or identify any deficiencies. The student will be responsible for the completion of all pre-registry requirements prior to graduation.
