Where can postgraduate study in Medical Imaging take you?
Medical imaging technologists (MITs) seeking a clinical training position in one of the imaging specialisations may commence their study before securing a clinical training position. This provides an opportunity to demonstrate enthusiasm, and capability to succeed in this area, to prospective employees. For more information about this pathway, please see the Postgraduate Certificate in Health Sciences.
The PGCertHSc(Medical Imaging) and PGDipHSc(Medical Imaging) programmes offer a wide variety of course combinations, enabling MITs to design a programme of study specific to their individual needs.
For individual advice, please contact the Medical Imaging Postgraduate Academic Coordinator at medicalimaging@auckland.ac.nz
