Entry Level Radiology Assistant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level radiology assistant job?
Start by completing an accredited radiology assistant or radiologic technology program, since most entry level postings require relevant clinical training or a certification such as the R.R.A. credential. Highlighting hands-on clinical rotation hours, any internship experience, and familiarity with imaging equipment gives new candidates a real edge. Applying directly to hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, and urgent care networks broadens your options at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level radiology assistants?
Companies hiring entry level radiology assistants right now include Banner Health, Ascension, and UF Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from hospital systems, outpatient imaging centers, and multi-specialty health groups that run structured onboarding programs for newer clinical staff.
Are there remote entry level radiology assistant jobs?
Yes, though most radiology assistant work is hands-on and performed on-site in clinical settings. About 20% of entry level radiology assistant openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those roles typically involve administrative imaging support, remote consultation coordination, or teleradiology workflows rather than direct patient procedures.
Are these new grad radiology assistant jobs?
Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior radiology assistant roles. A posting is generally new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts clinical rotations or internships in place of full-time work history, or lists a portfolio of imaging cases as an acceptable credential. Look for language like 'new grads encouraged to apply' or 'training provided' as clear signals.
Which industries hire the most entry level radiology assistants?
Entry Level radiology assistant roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Science & Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they maintain high patient imaging volume, expand outpatient service lines, and regularly need clinical support staff who can grow into more advanced radiology responsibilities over time.
