AAS Radiologic Technology Verified listing

If you wind up with an injury or a fluoroscopy procedure, a Radiologic Technologist will be there to assist you and capture the images. As a Radiologic Technologist you’ll combine patient care with an in-depth knowledge of human anatomy and proficiency with high-tech equipment.

The AAS Radiologic Technology program is accredited by Middle States. It is a two-year program, which includes the first summer. It is one of the oldest in the country, known originally as the Saranac Lake Craft Guild X-Ray Program, which moved to North Country when the college opened in 1967.  It’s also one of the most up-to-date programs, as new equipment keeps you at the forefront of imaging technology. Our energized radiology suite, located on the Saranac Lake campus, enhances the student experience in positioning patients prior to clinical rotations.

Clinical experience is a significant educational component of the Radiologic Technology program. Each student must complete approximately 1,600 hours of clinical throughout the program. North Country is affiliated with 13 sites across a 200-mile radius, including Alice Hyde Medical Center in Malone, Adirondack Health in Saranac Lake, Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown and UVM's Elizabethtown Community Hospital Ticonderoga Campus. A complete listing of clinical sites can be found among the links to the right.

The program adheres to the American Society of Radiologic Technologists curriculum. Ultimately, successful completion of the academic and clinical requirements within the program allows the student admission to take the American Registry in Radiologic Technology, a national exam, and subsequent licensure by the State of New York.
