The Medical Radiologic Technology Board of Examiners licenses and manages prospective and practicing radiologic technologists in Arizona. Arizona does not have many radiologic technology programs, so admission is highly competitive, especially for associate degree programs. Also, some associate programs have transfer options for students to obtain their bachelor’s in radiologic technology.
