Workforce Development Computed Tomography (CT) Technologist Training Program

Brown University Health Workforce Development offers a 26-week Computed Tomography (CT) Technologist training program designed for credentialed radiologic technologists who are interested in advancing their careers in medical imaging. In partnership with the Brown University Health School of Medical Imaging, this program prepares participants with the specialized technical knowledge and hands-on clinical experience needed to become certified CT technologists.

The program combines self-paced online coursework, workforce readiness training, and paid clinical rotations in hospital imaging departments.

• Patient care, contrast administration, and venipuncture techniques
• CT scanning protocols and cross-sectional anatomy
• Radiation safety principles and dose optimization strategies
• CT image reconstruction, post-processing, and quality control
• Clinical workflow, PACS systems, and CT imaging procedures in hospital settings
• Recognition of common pathologies and appropriate imaging protocols

Program requirements:

• Registered Technologist Certification through The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) or The Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB)
