Health care career question?

We Answered:

Yes, depending on the education you alrady have you can get an associate's or bachelors degree in DMS. If I were you I would do the 2 year associate's degree program (same thing I'm doing except my program is 18 months long). There is no reason why you should have to start over with school. I transferred to a tech school after I had already completed 2 years at a university. Your credits should transfer & then you will just have take the remainder of pre-requisite courses that are required to apply to the DMS program (I had to take anatomy, medical terminology, physics, etc). Make sure the school you are considering is accredited by CAAHEP:

Then talk to someone at the school who is familiar with the DMS program & ask what the pre-req courses are, about transferring your credits, & when the deadline is to apply to the program. You may also want to ask how long the waiting list is, sometimes these programs are very competitive & full. Good luck!

And by the way, I have not heard good things about Sanford-Brown. I had initially looked into one where I live & I didn't like how they said they treat their students like customers..I just thought that was weird. Plus it is more expensive than a regular technical school & you don't want to have issues with certification after you graduate.

Is Sanford-Brown College worth going to?

We Answered:

Sanford Brown doesn't have a very good reputation in the field, and it's way way way too expensive. You can find all accredited radiography programs here: https://www.arrt.org/index.html?content=…
