RadNet’s Overview · Workforce Development
A Career in Imaging Starts Here
A partnership of RadNet & JVS SoCal
ImagingWorks® is a paid, 90-day career-training program that prepares people for entry-level roles in medical imaging — online learning alongside a full-time paid clinical placement.
Medical imaging faces a national shortage of qualified technologists.
ImagingWorks is an earn-and-learn program. Students earn $23 an hour while they train, at imaging centers across Northern and Southern California.
What you train for
One program covers all three. Every participant completes every component, whatever their prior experience.
DEXA Technician
Bone densitometry from the ground up, with preparation to take the California DEXA limited permit exam to work as a DEXA (bone density scanning) technician.
90 days · Paid from day one
MRI Tech Aide
MR safety training, including patient care and positioning, to support MRI technologists and patients around the scanner.
90 days · Paid from day one
Patient Services Representative
The first face patients see: core medical practice knowledge including anatomy, terminology and insurance, and patient information systems training including scheduling and billing.
90 days · Paid from day one
How it works
This is a 90-day training course embedded in a clinical site where you are working full time. Classes are held online during the business day, and you attend by computer from your clinical site.
From day one you earn an hourly wage as a temporary RadNet employee, for up to 90 days. Most of the time is spent in on-the-job training, where you learn by doing. Class cohorts begin four times each year.
On completion you receive job placement assistance and the opportunity to interview for full-time positions. Placement is not guaranteed. Across all of JVS SoCal’s career-training programs, the combined placement rate is more than 80%, and over 2,800 graduates have been placed in full-time positions since 2006.
