The traditional three-year medical imaging program for students who are new to medical imaging is currently not accepting new students. The program curriculum is being revised to provide the most advanced and effective education.
About
Welcome to the Emory University Medical Imaging Program. Medical imaging professionals utilize x-rays and other energy forms to help diagnose and treat medical conditions. The medical imaging professional (radiologic technologist or radiographer) provides quality patient care while creating diagnostic images independently, assisting radiologists and other physicians in imaging the body and operating specialized radiographic equipment.
This program is ideal for people interested in both personal interaction and a "high-tech" career. Medical imaging professionals apply their knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology, patient positioning, radiation protection, and image production techniques in the performance of their duties. Students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for professional competence through a blend of classroom and clinical education.
Emory University’s Medical Imaging Program offers a bachelor of medical science (BMSc) degree, which can help graduates advance more rapidly within the profession. Advanced coursework in radiology administration, radiography education, and advanced clinical practice in computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging are offered.
Program Mission
The Emory University Medical Imaging Program seeks to develop leaders in medical imaging by fostering academic excellence within a patient- and family-centered care environment. Our specific mission is to produce well-educated, culturally and clinically competent, highly motivated medical imaging professionals who can safely perform diagnostic imaging procedures. Program graduates also possess either advanced imaging skills in a specialty modality or leadership skills in education or management.
