Pre-Advanced Medical Imaging Technology
What is Pre-Advanced Medical Imaging Technology?
The pre-advanced medical imaging technology associate degree program at Raymond Walters College (RWC) is designed to prepare students for application to the bachelor's degree program in advanced medical imaging technology (AMIT), which is offered by University of Cincinnati's College of Allied Health Sciences.
Currently, the health care industry is undergoing major changes in an effort to control costs and increase efficiencies without compromising professional patient care. In the past, this care was delivered through the utilization of health care specialists. Today, many employers are now seeking to deliver these services by utilizing the talents of multi-skilled health care professionals.
After completing the pre-advanced medical imaging technology degree, students will be prepared to apply for the bachelor's degree program which includes clinical internships in two of the following imaging modalities: nuclear medicine technology, diagnostic medical sonography, and/or magnetic resonance imaging.
Success Factors
Students must have an aptitude for math and science. Successful health care professionals must want to help others, be able to work as part of a team, possess good verbal and nonverbal communication skills, and have a professional demeanor.
Career Possibilities
Advanced medical imaging technology bachelor's degree graduates are in demand by various medical imaging laboratories in hospitals, medical centers, outpatient clinics and research facilities. Advancement in this field may involve promotion to supervisory and administrative positions, equipment and pharmaceutical sales, product support or teaching.

Changing Majors within UC Requirements
A minimum GPA of 2.5 is required for any student wishing to transfer to the College of Allied Health Sciences. However, students must also undergo a selective and competitive admission process in order to be admitted into the junior portion of the BS program in advanced medical imaging technology. This process involves consideration of academic qualifications, experience and an interview. While a minimum overall GPA of 3.0 is recommended, it does not guarantee admission into the program. Grades of B or better are required in the biology, chemistry, anatomy & physiology and physics courses. The deadline for this application process is December 1 each year.
Students who complete the radiologic technology program at RWC are also eligible to apply for transfer to the advanced medical imaging technology program upon completion of additional course work.
Accreditation
The University of Cincinnati is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
