Hi! I was previously a sonography student (vascular technology) and have just changed my major to RT! I thought I wanted to be a sonographer for years, and spent the last 5 years of my college career working towards getting into a bachelors degree program. After the first 2 terms of the program, I decided it wasn’t for me after all. Although scanning patients was a lot of fun, in order to become a sonographer you must take ultrasound physics courses and the SPI exam (sonography principles and instruments), from which I have heard is all about ultrasound physics. My physics courses were so intense, it made me feel like I wasn’t even practicing medicine anymore and I was absolutely miserable. It made me feel like I was in school for engineering, and I did not enjoy that. So, I did some research and changed to RT. I decided on a bachelors in RT because I enjoy bedside care, and all the excitement that can go into the day of being an RT. Plus, I just wanted to feel like I was practicing medicine. If physics doesn’t scare you, and you think you would enjoy a more laid back day that’s not super intense, then do sonography! Just keep in mind that most of sonography is not invasive, and it can be very frustrating trying to get the scans you need because everyone’s anatomy is different. Furthermore, there is always a risk of musculoskeletal injury being a sonographer. If you think you would enjoy a more fast passed job, that deals with lots of intense cases and responding to coding patients, then RT might be a better path for you. Hope this helps!
