This helps in knowing if the patients has or carries any types of illness. They explain to the patient if the may or may not have an illness and provide them the information of the illness and, they take injections and mouth test, they also use laboratory test on tissues samples. This may be dangerous to the tester because of the radiation. The radiation can affect their bodies and tissues. This all take place at clinics, hospitals department, laboratory. It can also depend on their skills to knowing their jobs (depended on their level.)

Salary:$28,000-$42,000

Education: Us student should be able to take challenging classes like math, science, English courses in high school. This type of career takes about 4 years of studying. One year leading to certification on hospitals. This is associate with a bachelor’s degree that can be offered to colleges and universities. The courses that it provides are the safety, radiation procedures, physical science, effects to the radiation of the body and organs, and computer techniques.  Mostly all states would require a license for this type of job.

Reflection: I don’t think that I would prefer this type of job because it involves job much risk. It`s too risky on showing the effects of the radiation. The type of career I would prefer to choose would be that it involves less risks.
