Mammography Post-Associate Certificate

Schoolcraft program code # PAC.00279

The Mammography program provides the knowledge that will enable students to enter the workforce as entry-level mammography technologists. The program prepares the post-graduate technologist to use mammography to detect the presence of a tumor or lump, and other abnormalities of the breast.  Mammography uses low-energy radiation to produce images of the breast that play a key role in the early detection of breast cancer. 

The post-associate certificate is awarded upon successful completion of 9 credits.  Upon completion of the program, students are eligible to take the ARRT post-primary certification examination in mammography.  This adds the Mammography credential (M) to their ARRT certification.
