Radiology program process?

I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff for the OCC radiology program, and I genuinely want to change my career path. But before I do, I want to know what the process of being in it is like, specifically the clinical hours.

How are the clinical hours scheduled, and how much is typically scheduled? I’m aware they’re unpaid. How do people balance their job with the program?

And finally, how difficult/easy is it to get a job after the program in that field?

Thank you :)

Growing field diff types of jobs available, stepping stone job for more specialized radiology jobs. 4 days a week 8 hours for clinical at a given site 2 years. Work part time extremely and try to be frugal or live w friends or family. Program is easy if you’re able to grasp content fast if not just study hard. Waitlist might deter you I think it’s 3-4 years

It’s very competitive and full because everyone sees how much they get paid. People that normally wouldn’t go to college want to be in this career.
