The Mammography certificate is designed to provide radiographers with knowledge and basic skills in the practice of mammography. Students will gain didactic knowledge that can be used to fulfill the structured education requirement for the ARRT mammography certification exam.
The clinical education portion of the certificate provides basic experience in computed tomography and with completion of the specific mandatory patient exam requirements completed with the student’s employer will make them eligible to take the ARRT mammography certification exam.
The clinical portion of the certificate provides basic experience in computed tomography but does not complete the clinical competency requirement for the ARRT computed tomography certification.
