COVID-19 update
Portland Community College has moved to remote operations, closing all campuses and centers as of 4pm on Friday, March 20. No access will be granted to any of our facilities. The Health Admission Office will be offering phone appointments during this closure. Please email syhao@pcc.edu to request advising assistance. Emails will be returned within 2-3 business day in the order of receipt. We appreciate your patience during this time of uncertainty and look forward to working with you soon.
The MRI Technologist Training program teaches you the art and science of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which utilizes very strong magnetic fields and radio frequencies for imaging the tissues of the body. We offer comprehensive training which includes clinical training hours at hospitals and clinics in the surrounding area.
Upon completion of PCC’s MRI Technologist Training Program, you will possess the skills and training required to meet national standards, making you eligible to sit for the ARRT MRI certification exam.
Applicants must be a Registered Radiologic Technologist (ARRT), Ultrasound Technologist, Nuclear Medicine Technologist or Radiation Therapy Technologist by program start. Radiography students who are recent graduates may apply – but must be registered before the beginning of the MRI Program.
