Eres graduado como técnico de Radiologia, o rayos X , en tu pais, y está planificando obtener tu licencia en estados unidos, aquí te indicamos los pasos básicos.

Here are the basic requirements for a radiology technician who graduated abroad to get their credentials in the United States:

• Education – You need to have completed an accredited radiography program in your home country, usually either an associate’s or bachelor’s degree. The program needs to be equivalent to U.S. radiography programs.
• English Proficiency – You will need to demonstrate English proficiency through an exam like the TOEFL or IELTS.
• ARRT Exam – To get licensed in the U.S. you need to pass the radiography exam from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
• State License – Each state has its own requirements for licensing radiology techs. This usually involves submitting an application, paying a fee, and showing you are ARRT certified.
• Visa/Immigration – You will need a visa that allows you to live and work in the U.S. as a radiology technician. Common options are the H-1B work visa or TN visa for Canadian citizens.
• Credential Evaluation – To have your foreign education evaluated as equivalent to U.S. programs, you need a course-by-course credential evaluation from a NACES-approved agency.

So in summary, the key steps are getting the proper education and ARRT certification, demonstrating English skills, obtaining the state license, securing a work visa, and getting your foreign credentials officially evaluated. The process can take 12-18 months to fully complete. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions!
