What does a Tech Assistant in Radiology do?

Is ultrasound sonography tech a good job?

  • im thinking about being an ultrasound sonography tech because i love seeing the baby develop, but i dont know if its a really hard field, and if it even pays good!!! i also am thinking about vision care tech, occupational therapy tech, radiology tech, dental assistant, medical assistant, and practical nursing. i want a relaxed field with good pay!!!!! and not a lot of college bc i hate school. HELP

  • Answer:

    The curriculum to become a diagnostic medical sonographer (used to be referred to as "ultrasound tech") is supposed to be pretty intense. Those in the medical imaging field, including radiologic tech, have said that there are *not* supposed to be too many jobs either. With regard to occupational therapy tech (perhaps you're referring to occupational therapy ASSISTANT), it's not supposed to be "relaxing" per se but I'm sure rewarding. The job can actually be VERY emotionally and physically demanding. In addition, the OTA must have gone to school for two years, successfully complete a clinical fieldwork component with an actual patient caseload, and pass a certification exam before possibly finding work. Practical nursing, or ANY type of nursing, for that matter, is also supposed to be VERY stressful, both mentally and physically. Even the job of a certified nursing assistant (CNA) can be very draining. Regarding medical assistant (or medical billing and/or coding), there are NOT supposed to be too many jobs despite what those private overly priced For-profit schools proclaim. If you're considering dental assistant, please make sure that the program is accredited by the "american dental association." Before considering going to school for dental assistant, it's preferably to look at dental textbooks such as those found at the local community college, the county vo-tech school, or medical/dental school library as some may find that even photos of patients with severe dental disease to be tough to view, much less in-person.
