Radiologic Technologist Residency Program

The Yale New Haven Health Department of Radiology Computed Tomography Technologist training program is a post-primary, hybrid six-month pathway. Offered to board certified Registered Radiologic Technologists, the program is designed to prepare students for advanced certification in Computed Tomography. Residents spend 24 hours per week in hands-on clinical practicum at our various imaging locations, eight hours completing didactic work and another 8 hours working clinically as a radiologic technologist to maintain their credentials and practice.

In addition to having access to the wide range of imaging resources and state-of-the-art equipment of Yale New Haven Health, residents utilize American Society of Radiologic Technologist (ASRT) curriculum in conjunction with their clinical practice to enhance their understanding of the modality. Upon completion of the program, residents graduate with a certificate that allows them to sit for the national board examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
