Radiology Student Chat Zone :: RE: Baker College Rad Tech Program (Clinton Twp, MI)

Contrary to the previous poster's opinion, I think you'll find that it is difficult to generalize about either degree-based or non-degree-based programs.

There are fewer and fewer certificate programs. As our profession matures, certificate programs close and seldom re-open as the slack is taken up by community colleges and 4-year institutions.

Many institutions have become more competitive as there are more applicants than there are open spots in the program. A Program Director would be foolish to not respond to that and raise the standard. If I had a choice of 25 people for 10 open spots? If half are 4.0 students and half are 3.85 students, which group do you think I'd pick from?

You've already indicated that you will not give Baker College any more of your money - I think that says you've already made your choice to enroll elsewhere. All that's left is to decide whether or not to pursue a less competitive program. And the only person who can decide that is you.

Good luck

Don't bother with a college based program. It's all about how much money they can get out of you. Maybe you'll stick around while you sit on a waiting list and keep taking classes to stay fresh. More money for them. Many hospital based programs don't penalize you for retaking classes, are far less expensive, have much more clinical time and select students based on things other than who has waited the longest.

Hello, I'm a medstudent and was asked by my resident to look up and present what an o-ring test is all about. It only needs to be a 5min oral blurb. I looked and looked but found nothing. I only know that it could be viewed on an xray and than you could actually see the little O shaped "rings" throughout the GI tract. Can anyone explain the test to me and what the significance of its findings are...ie how it is interpreted? Thanks.
