Palm Beach Community College offers an Associate in Science degree in Radiography. It is a career oriented college-level program consisting of classroom, lab and clinical experience. The program has 24 month, competency-based curriculum which includes practical experience in local hospitals and is designed to develop technical proficiency through extensive clinical exposure. The program is designed to begin in the Spring term each year, and requires a full-time commitment, 8 hours daily.

Radiographers (Radiologic Technologists) combine the high technology of diagnostic medical imaging with their skill of patient care to create an x-ray image or radiograph. These radiographs are used by radiologists and physicians in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease or injury. This is a profession that requires a dependable personality with a mature and caring nature.
