Radiologic Technologist Program
Baton Rouge General's School of Radiologic Technology offers students the education and preparation needed to become skilled radiologic technologists. Under the direction of highly skilled physicians, instructors and technologists in smaller class settings, students are educated on the latest diagnostic imaging systems and gain first-hand experience through clinical specialty rotation and clinical internships in areas such as CT, MRI, Heart Catheterization/Special Procedures and Radiation Therapy.
In recent years, pass rates of Baton Rouge General’s School of Radiologic Technology graduates on the American Registry of Radiologic Technology (ARRT) exam have exceeded national averages. In addition, employment rates of graduates have exceeded national averages with graduates being employed in a wide variety of facilities across the region and being cross-trained in advanced technologies such as CT, MRI, Mammography and Heart Catheterization and Intervention.
Baton Rouge General's School of Radiologic Technology has been fully accredited since 1985 by the Louisiana State Radiologic Technology Board of Examiners, the State of Louisiana Department of Education and the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT).
The program has recently undergone a complete curriculum revision to ensure that instruction is the most current and of the best quality possible. The program was also recently awarded reaccreditation for eight years, which is the maximum award possible for programmatic accreditation by the JRCERT.
