Best Answer

You must complete medical school and residency to practice as a radiologist.

Undergraduate = 4 years

Medical school = 4 years

Residency = 5 years.

All told, you are looking at 13 years after high school, if you complete undergraduate and medical school in 4 years each.

Most programs are 2 years long. You will also need to complete your general education requirements. You will graduate with an A.S. The down side is that after all the work, it should actually be a B. S., but since most programs are only offered at the community college level a bachelor's degree is not available.

Oh ... somewhere between 3' and 7.5' I suppose, though I don't think they really care how long you are.

Actually, it's like 2 years I think ... just like a nurse or medical assistant. Good industry. I wish I'd have become a radiologist.

No, a veterinary radiologist is a veterinarian who has gone through even MORE specialized training after they have graduated from vet school (typically a minimum of 4 years additional training).

But to interpret the radiographs, you must be a veterinarian.
