What do they do?
Through
this program, graduates are
prepared to perform x-ray
(radiographic) examinations
used in patient diagnosis.
They prepare patients for
radiographic examinations by
explaining the procedure,
ensuring proper positioning
of both the patient and the
radiographic equipment.

vary from state to state.
Where do they work?
Limited Medical Radiography graduates typically work at clinics, public health institutions, and urgent care centers.
What are they paid?
Earnings in individual health care occupations vary as widely as the duties. Many factors play a role in determining the graduate's potential earnings, including years of experience, amount of responsibility required, and the size of the facility or practice of employment. Other factors that impact earnings vary from region to region, such as cost of living. Many areas are experiencing shortages in health care workers. This is having a major impact on earnings.
We recommend that prospective students refer to local health care employers for earning potential in their region. For a national overview of potential earnings, we recommend the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook found in the local library or visit their website.
