To become a travel radiology technologist, the journey typically begins with graduating from an accredited radiologic technologist program, often earning an associate's or bachelor's degree, and obtaining a professional credential from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Following certification, aspiring technologists must gain hands-on experience in a healthcare facility to master skills like accurate patient positioning, equipment operation, and radiation shielding. Many professionals also choose to advance their careers and marketability by gaining experience in specialties like computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or by earning post-primary credentials. Once established with the necessary experience—typically a minimum of 12 months to two years in a clinical setting—and credentials, technologists can partner with a travel agency, like Nomad, to find assignments that fit their career goals and lifestyle.
