The Computed Tomography Certificate (Advanced Certificate) fully-remote program has been designed to meet the healthcare demand for high-skilled Computed Tomography (CT) Technologists. This imaging program prepares students for the ARRT post-primary registry examination in CT, as well as for entry level CT positions*. It is designed for certified technologists, i.e., Diagnostic X-ray, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Therapy and Interventional Radiologic Technologists. However, the Computed Tomography Program will consider recent graduates of an accredited Radiologic Technology Program.
The Computed Tomography Certificate is a two sequential semester course of study. The first Semester will begin in September and end in December with the second semester beginning in January and ending in May. Students are admitted in the fall, with a limited number of openings each year. Students seeking to take part in the didactic-only portion will apply for Track #1 candidacy. Students seeking both didactic and clinical segments of the program will apply to Track #2.

Two Tracks for Prospective Students
Track #1
Track #1 is a remotely offered lecture/class-based teaching model. This track does not provide a clinical opportunity for enrolled students. Track 1 students will meet every other week, remotely-in the convenience of your home, on Saturday mornings at a designated time using the WebEx platform (a desktop video/audio conference call application) for live instruction with an experienced, credentialed instructor. This track is ideal for the Diagnostic X-ray, Nuclear Medicine, and Radiation Therapy technologist population wanting to advance their skills in the field of Computed Tomography. It will give these technologists a solid foundation of CT and the opportunity to become CT certified as they pursue career advancement. This is a two-semester, remotely offered 8-credit program.
Track #2
Track #2 has both a remotely offered lecture/class-based component and a clinical component to the program. Track 2 students will meet every other week, remotely-in the convenience of your home, on Saturday mornings at a designated time using the WebEx platform (a desktop video/audio conference call application) for live instruction with an experienced, credentialed instructor. Additionally, students in Track 2 will be placed in a clinical site for 12-16 hours each week. When you successfully complete the remote (lecture-based) and clinical courses, you will meet the educational and clinical experience requirements to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist’s (ARRT) post primary certification examination in Computed Tomography.
This is a two-semester remotely offered 14-credit program with a mandatory face-to-face clinical practicum. Students in Track 2 must be available to attend clinicals in the Boston and Boston MetroWest area. No out-of-state clinical opportunities are available. This advanced certificate program will include all the content category requirements within the ARRT Computed Tomography Examination for Patient Care and Safety, Imaging Procedures, Physics, and Instrumentation.
