EP 27. CT Basics Simplified: Navigating Your Training With No CT Program Required

This week's episode, I talk about how new CT technologists can learn the basics without the expensive of paying for a CT program, the realities of the CT programs out there, and how I help them through my courses and coaching program.

Topics discussed in this episode:

When starting out in CT, some facilities will have you go through a CT program and clinicals on your own time to learn CT.
The training is often unpaid, and there is a a complex list of 125 exams that need to be completed in order to sit for the CT registry.
The reality of CT Programs: there aren't many of them, they are expensive, and you have to find your own clinical site. The curriculum is focused mainly on the physics of CT instead of the basics that every beginner CT tech needs
The clinical site is where techs get most of their training and hands-on training to learn the modality.
New CT techs would benefit if CT departments had a checklist to guide new techs when learning the CT basics.
It is the tech's responsibility to invest themselves to be the best technologist they can become.
