Anyone know of a MRI certificate program near Toledo, Ohio or northern Florida?

Question

I'm almost finished with my radiologic technology schooling from an accredited program and I'm looking for somewhere to receive a MRI certificate. Is there really that many out there, or is it mostly on the job training? I'm going into radiation therapy in a few years, but would like to have the ability to work in the MRI field in the mean time. I'm looking for locations near Toledo, Ohio and Pensacola, Florida. Any help is appreciated, I can't find anything specific in google searches where it just brings up x-ray tech schools. Thanks!

Answer 1

Most MRI programs are ridiculously expensive.  I have never worked with a tech who has attended one of these programs.  Almost all of the time, a RT will cross train, on the job, into MRI or CT scanning.  I did a search on the ASRT site for accredited MRI programs, and there are only 3 in all of the US....none in Ohio or Florida.
