In Omaha, Nebraska, you can find plenty of things. But the first place you might want to stop if you are looking to advance your medical career is the Alegent Health School of Radiologic Technology. Omaha is one of the top fifty largest cities in the entire country, with a population of over 400,000 people. Omaha is known for its history as Americans moved out west in the 1800s, and thus it has a number of landmarks that tourists come to visit every year. As with any other large city, there are plenty of things to keep students busy and off their feet when class isn’t in session.

For those looking to start or advance a career in radiology or in similar fields in the medical industry, the Alegent Health School of Radiologic Technology is a great choice. It allows for study to be completed in less than two years, and students are trained thoroughly in a number of clinical performances and experiments. Medical instructors work with students in a hands on environment providing assignments, critical thinking situations, case studies, and quality testing. Students who are in the program are on a relatively tight schedule, where they work with doctors and technicians on regularly scheduled shifts. Students can take 18 hours off of these shifts during their time at the Algent Health School.

If you are interested in applying, you first must pass an entrance exam and then attend an in person interview to access your ability. You will have to also pass a physical to make sure that you can handle the transport and lifting of patients and medical equipment. The application for the program costs $25, and financial aid is available through loans from the federal government as well as grants and other forms of scholarships.
