Kaiser Permanente, Dignity Health, and Sutter Health all run structured new-grad tech programs that include breast imaging exposure. Candidates who hold their ARRT (R) and are actively pursuing the mammography postprimary pathway stand out, and volunteering for cross-training in mammography suites while working as a general rad tech is a proven route in California facilities.
