I think you actually have to go to class for a radiology degree because it requires clinical time.  Since you have to practice your trade, it requires your presence in person.

Ophthalmology would require completion of a baccalaureate degree, medical school, and internship and residency programs. Count on roughly 8 years, barring any future subspecialty training.

Med school is just med school for the first few years--you can take extra classes in your desired area of specialization, but everyone at a given school completes a standard basic set of classes--it is more structured than undergraduate studies.  During your M3 and M4 years you will have the opportunity to take a couple electives in your desired area of specialization and then once you graduate you'll be able to apply for internship and residency positions in radiology.\n\nIf you want to be a radiologist you should pursue a standard pre-medical curriculum (1 year of physics, 1 year of inorganic chemistry, 1 year of organic chemistry, 1 year of calculus, 1 year of biology, and 1 year of English) in addition to your desired major.\n\nYou should also make connections now with people in the medical field in order to shadow doctors (several dozen hours minimum) and to volunteer in clinical settings (several hundred hours is desirable).\n\nYou can go to medical school with ANY college major as long as you have completed the pre-med requirements listed above, so if you are enjoying your current major, stick with it.\n\nVisit http://www.studentdoctor.net -- it is an excellet source of information for pre-med students.\n\nGood luck!

If you want to be a radiologist you have to go to school at least 10 years.If you want to be a radiological technician then you go to school for 2 years.I suggest going into nursing because you aren't limited to just the radiology department.you can go into different types of nursing also.a radiologist just looks over the x-rays and diagnoses.an x-ray tech performs the procedures.Hope this helps and good luck!

While an individual needs lots of schooling to become a volcanologist, perhaps the most important skills to obtain are those related to Earth science. Also, a basic overall understanding of computers, software and computer code could come in useful as the volcanology field is progressively getting more and more technology advanced. More specifically, though, let?s take a deeper look into what types of things a person should be looking for at the different stages of their education.\n\nHigh School\n\nDeveloping your language skills is a major step towards becoming a volcanologist. Writing reports, giving talks and communicating clearly on some advanced and tricky subjects are eventually going to be a major part of your volcanology career. Preparing early can help you to better be prepared for this type of work when the time arises. \n\nAlso, students interested in majoring in geological sciences should include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, geography, physics, chemistry and either biology or Earth science into their high school curriculum. If a general geology class is offered, along with a lab, it is also highly recommended that an individual take this as part of their high school education.\n\nUniversity Undergrad Program\n\nVolcanology is made up of bits and pieces of numerous different fields and thus, there are no schools that offer full degree programs specifically in volcanology. Therefore, many individuals begin their volcanology careers by getting a bachelor?s degree in geology. Ideally, it is best to combine as much geology and geophysics as possible. However, this is very difficult to do and, usually, individuals just end up specializing in either one or the other. \n\nBasically, students should build a strong foundation for themselves by taking lots of mathematics and physics courses. Calculus I, II and III, analytical geometry, differential equations, introductory linear algebra and at least one year of an upper division sequence in applied mathematics is recommended. A student should also complete 1 full year of physics with a lab. Classical mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism courses are also suggested. First, second and third level biology classes, along with a general chemistry class, are usually required as well. Clearly, introductory geology, general geology and mineralogy courses are also basic classes that will be needed if you?re interested in becoming a volcanologist. Lastly, an oceanography course (numerous volcanoes are formed in the oceans) and a meteorology/atmospheric sciences class (eruptions can greatly affect the climate) can also provide useful background knowledge and help students prepare for a post-graduate program.\n\nFinally, if money permits, perhaps one of the best things you can get involved in would be a summer internship. Doing volcanological fieldwork, either as a volunteer or even as a paid field assistant, is a first step towards your success as a volcanologist.\n\nUniversity Post-graduate Programs\n\nMost present volcanologists have gone on to get their degrees through a graduate program of some kind, but not all believe that it is absolutely necessary to get your Ph.D. However, in the pursuit of your graduate degree, the choice of specialization allows you to truly become a volcanologist. Here, under the supervision of an experienced, senior volcanologist, you conduct your own individual research. Choosing a particular university for this type of study depends on lots of things and may be a difficult decision to make. Factors such as the particular aspects of the field you are interested in; potential advisors? interests, abilities and personalities; the university?s location; the available financial aid options; the language that most of the classes are taught in; and also the specific degree that you are interested in can all play a role in deciding where you would like to continue your education.

East coast fl...I am a Surgical Tech but my aunt is head of the Radiography department. X-ray techs are a vital part of the healthcare industry. It is a reliable and growing field. Ask a local hospital if you can do a "shadow" of the department. Tell them you are going to be entering the program and would like to see how and what is envolved. You can also specialize in areas such as ultra sound tech to. YOu can do both and be more valuable. Try payscale.com for pay. Realize though that you have to consider the type of place, Hospital, or private practice, and many times you can get job placement through school. I hope that you really check on this it is a great area of healthcare.

I think a phD or Msc is needed before your knowledge is good enough. Hope this helps.

Medicine is a physically and mentally demanding profession in which practitioners are asked to place the interests of their patients above their own. It requires commitment to a life of service and dedication to continuous learning. The rigorous four year medical school curriculum is where candidates begin to develop the qualities necessary for the practice of medicine. It is during this period of undergraduate medical education that the candidate acquires the foundation of knowledge, attitudes, skills and behaviors that he or she will need throughout his or her professional career. During this period, it is critical for the School of Medicine to evaluate whether the candidate is qualified to receive the degree of Doctor of Medicine. The School of Medicine has a responsibility to society to train physicians competent to care for their patients with critical judgment, broadly based knowledge and well honed technical skills. The abilities that physicians must possess to practice safely are reflected in the technical standards that follow. Thus, applicants and candidates must be able to meet these standards and successfully complete all identified requirements to be admitted to the School of Medicine, to progress through the curriculum and ultimately, to receive the degree of Doctor of Medicine from the University of Utah School of Medicine. Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine must be capable of performing in five areas: Visual, Oral-Auditory, Motor, Cognitive, and Social. Reasonable accommodation will be made for some limitations in these areas, but a candidate must be able to function in an independent manner. \n\n\n\nVisual\nCandidates must be able to observe and participate in experiments in the basic sciences. (For example, physiologic and pharmacologic demonstrations and microscopic studies of microorganisms and tissues.)\n\nIn order to make proper clinical decisions, candidates must be able to observe a patient accurately. Candidates must be able to acquire information from written documents, films, slides or videos. Candidates must also be able to interpret X-ray and other graphic images, and digital or analog representations of physiologic phenomena, such as EKG's, with or without the use of assistive devices. Thus, functional use of vision is necessary.\n\n\nOral-Auditory\nCandidates must be able to communicate effectively and sensitively with patients. Candidates must also be able to communicate effectively and efficiently with other members of the health care team. In emergency situations, candidates must be able to understand and convey information essential for the safe and effective care of patients in a clear, unambiguous and rapid fashion. In addition, candidates must have the ability to relate information to and receive information from patients in a caring and confidential manner.\n\n\nMotor\nCandidates must possess the motor skills necessary to perform palpation, percussion, auscultation, and other diagnostic maneuvers. Candidates must be able to execute motor movements reasonably required to provide general and emergency medical care such as airway management, placement of intravenous catheters, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and application of pressure to control bleeding. These skills require coordination of both gross and fine muscular movements, equilibrium and integrated use of the senses of touch and vision.\n\n\nCognitive\nIn order to effectively solve clinical problems, candidates must be able to measure, calculate, reason, analyze, integrate and synthesize in a timely fashion. In addition, they must be able to comprehend three-dimensional relationships and to understand the spacial relationships of structures.\n\n\nSocial\nCandidates must possess the emotional health required for the full utilization of their intellectual abilities, for the exercise of good judgment, for the prompt completion of all responsibilities attendant to the diagnosis and care of patients, and for the developm

you'll need to attend a 4 year college where you MUST take\n1. 1 year of general chemistry\n2. 1 year of organic chemistry\n3. 1 year oh physics\n4. 1 year of biology\ndepending on the medical school you choose, you may also need a semester of math, english, and a humanity (history, philosophy, ect.)\n\nyou also need to take the MCAT during your junior year of college. the mcat tests your ability to retain knowledge, and be able to apply it to an unfamiliar situation. which is essentially what doctors do.\n\nthe test is divided into 4 sections, physical science (half physics and half general chemistry), biological science (2/3 biology and 1/3 organic chemistry), verbal reasoning, and a writing section.\nphysical science, bio science, and verbal are each scored on a scale of 1-15 points. so a 45 is the maximum. to get into medical school, you need a 30, meaning at least a 10 from each section. writing is scored by a letter grade from J to T (j being the worst, t the best)\nso your score looks like this: 32P \nthe MCAT is an 8 hour test, and by the time you take it, it will be on the computer.\n\nduring medical school you'll study your anatomy, biochemistry, virology, ect, mostly during your first two years, then your last two years you do rotations, meaning you get to try all the medical specialties like surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, ect. \nyou graduate medical school.\nthen you get to discover the circus that is the match. \nyou apply for a specialty, pediatrics, at a certain hospital where you will be taught the ins and outs of your specialty. you'll be an md, but you'll essentially be "in training" for a number of years. \noh yes, the USMLE (us medical licensing exam) which has 3 steps, which you need to take to be an official doctor. the first two steps are taken during med school, the last one is taken during your residency.\nafter you complete your residency you try to get a "real" doctor spot, which is called an attending position, where you treat your own patients and have your own group of doctor wannabees to train.\n\nthrer's a LOT that i haven't covered, but that's everything in a nutshell.\n\ngood luck.

At least GCSE (or 'O' level) is needed for any branch of chemistry at post 'A' level. Physical chemistry needs a much higher understanding (involving calculus for rate equations for example and in entropy calculations). Inorganic requires somewhat less but is needed in crytallography and energy level calculations and organic chemistry probebly requres the least. I got by with just a bit more than 'O' level and I did all thee branches.
