Entry Level Imaging Assistant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level imaging assistant job?
Start by completing a formal imaging or radiologic technology program, even a certificate course, since most employers at this level look for clinical fundamentals over years on the job. Hands-on experience from a practicum, externship, or volunteer shift in a radiology department gives you a real edge. Tailor your resume to highlight any patient interaction, equipment handling, or image processing work, however brief.
Which companies hire entry level imaging assistants?
Companies hiring entry level imaging assistants right now include UT Southwestern Medical Center, WVU Medicine, and University of Minnesota, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, and diagnostic laboratory networks that build their teams through entry level pipelines rather than requiring prior professional experience.
Are there remote entry level imaging assistant jobs?
Yes, though most imaging assistant work is hands-on and on-site by nature. About 0% of entry level imaging assistant openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those roles typically cover administrative support, image review coordination, or teleradiology assistance rather than direct patient-facing work in a clinical setting.
Are these new grad imaging assistant jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior imaging assistant roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts an internship or externship in place of full-time history, or values a strong clinical portfolio over a lengthy work record. If you are coming straight out of a radiologic technology or imaging program, these are the roles to target first.
Which industries hire the most entry level imaging assistants?
Entry Level imaging assistant roles concentrate in Education and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive the most entry level hiring because they operate high-volume imaging departments with structured onboarding programs designed to bring new graduates and junior candidates up to clinical speed quickly.
