Opportunities for graduates in Radiologic Sciences have never been better. A national shortage of medical imaging technologists due to an aging population, expanded scope of practice, and medical advances means more job openings for graduates. The Department of Labor Statistics reports that 25% more workers are needed than are currently available, rating the profession as changing "faster than average." Radiographers, Radiation Therapists and Sonographers are health care professionals who are knowledgeable and experienced in the use of electromagnetic radiation and/or sound waves to diagnose and treat disease and injury. The radiation science professions integrate the latest in technologic advances in medicine with the art of creating images to aid in the diagnosis of disease and/or apply techniques in the treatment of disease processes. After graduation, students may choose to continue in a clinical setting with multiple choices for specialization. Some opt to pursue advanced degrees in careers such as education, business administration, research, or medicine.
