The radiologist assistant master's program is the only program offered in Connecticut and the only program nationally to have a board certified radiologist as the program director.

Graduates of the program earn a master of health science and are eligible to become registered radiologist assistants. The advantage of earning a master's degree as a radiologist assistant lies in the greater opportunities of autonomy and responsibility and participation in research and education.

Earning a master's degree at Quinnipiac is also a wise investment: Nationally, salaries for radiologist assistants are doublethose of radiologic technologists. In addition, there is a dramatic gap in the demand for medical imaging procedures and available services--a gap that likely will continue to grow.

Quinnipiac's faculty offers the highest level of education and experience in multiple disciplines. Among the faculty are radiologists from the Department of Diagnostic Radiology from Yale University School of Medicine, as well as physicists and professors. Their expertise covers imaging modalities, procedures, patient care, management, pharmacology and anatomy.

The quality and level of instruction are sophisticated and rewarding. Students have access to cadaver labs for anatomy and physiology, PACS (picture archiving systems) imaging technologies and rotation through different clinical education settings. View our clinical affiliates.
