Originally posted by anees_91:Hey guys. I was offered a place in Nanyang Polytechnic to study Diagnostic Radiography. Then, I was just thinking about what I'll be doing in future maybe 5 years down the road. So I was just wondering if it is possible to study Medicine (overseas maybe) after I get my diploma in Diagnostic Radiography. Please share your own experiences or of anyone whom you know who has taken this route.
Thank you so much for your help!!!
wow, I have never heard of this course.
Your job will be lonely becuase you'll be handling with the diagnostics. It just to be the doctor doing this job... but in order to free up the doctor's time, you will be solely responsible in providing the doctor a report of the diagnostics.
Let say if a doctor suspect the patient is having some sort of tumour in the stomach, the doctor will send the patient to you lab. You'll use the state-of-the-art (as they always claim) machine to see whether the patient is having tumour anot...
You can work in the hospital's diagnostics department. It's highly in demand now. It's the type of job where it requires experience. The longer you work for diagnostics, the most experience you have, the demand for your experience will be greater.
I took a look at the course structure and thought that it is quite comprehensive and practical, and you'll be able to apply what you'll be learning in the real-life situation.
Regarding about the medical course, you will need to check with the school itself. But based on personal opinion, i think it's not the medical school entry course requirement they are looking for, but you still have the advantage.
I didn't read Diagnostic Radiography~ I used to read Biomedical Sciences.
