Several national schools provide training for mammogram technicians.
Allied health professions are consistently some of the fastest-growing careers in the country. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 14 percent growth in the technician field from 2008 to 2018. Among these jobs are mammogram technicians. These medical technicians are trained to operate X-ray machinery for mammography screening and breast cancer detection. In order to earn a medical radiography certificate and become a mammogram technician, students are required to complete a two- to three-year college training program and then pass a state medical board exam.
