want to become a radiology tech but i have a criminal background? career medical?

We Answered:

Contact the state licensing board in your state. I am also an RT and about 25 years ago I worked with a tech who did his training in prison while he was serving time for robbery. He was fully licensed and was able to "go straight" because of the training he received in prison.

medical assistant deals with illness, germs, bodily fluids , 1:1 contact with people...etc
pharmacy tech deals with drugs, insurances, less contact with people...etc

you need to decide if you are ok with disease, illness or not

i want to change careers. how can i go about becoming a medical lab tech?

We Answered:

well nowadays if you look, you can do almost anything online. i don't know where you live but, in nc you can get your associates in MLT from southwestern community college (near the mountains i think) mostly online provided you have a clinic or hospital that is accepted by the cc to do your labwork and clinical work. at winston-salem state you can get your bachelors in MT (as long you have your associates from an accredited school) online with the same lab requirements.
in MD you could try university of md university college they have bachelors in biotech and lab management as long as you have your associates degree from a school that has an articulation agreement with the school.
in DC try george washington university. they have a bachelors in CLS (as long as you have an associates) and a combined bachelors and masters. that university costs a lot.
you could try getting your MA certification online through somewhere like US career institute. if you use the correspondence option you could finish in 4-6 months. if you chose the all online option, you could finish in about 3 months.
make sure to check all accreditations. be sure that you can sit for the exams required by your state.
hope this helps.
google online distance education programs for your state and check out the actual colleges in your area. start with the community/junior colleges and then check out the 4yr schools.

Yes, this is possible. You may need to take additional classes if your pre-med degree does not cover all the required classes that you'll need before you can start your clinical internship though.
