Do you have to take gross anatomy to be a Radiologist?

Question

I really want to be a radiologist, but I am deathly afraid of dead people so the whole gross anatomy thing really freaks me out.

Answer 1

If you can't deal with that, then you are choosing the wrong job.  Not only that, you also need great grades and years and years of education.

Answer 2

You need to go to med school to become a radiologist and med school is pretty much 4 years of gross anatomy.

Answer 3

Of course!  That's one of the most basic of courses in medical school and you'll probably take it your first year.  And, not to scare you, but it IS gross [ha, ha!] because it involves dissecting a human body.

Answer 4

Since radiologists are medical doctors, you will have to do a lot of things related to dead people -- and will certainly have to take gross anatomy.

Perhaps you could become a Radiology Tech if you don't have what it takes to go to medical school.
