In this site, you'll find background information about me and my education, as well as links to common radiology sites specific to the radiologist extender.
I hope that you will benefit from the information on this site and my RPA/RA book, currently available through my e-mail bovna_rpa1@verizon.net or by visiting the book web page at www.trafford.com/robots/04-2505.html
Please do not be bullied into taking the ARRT test for the RA. I was actually surprised that the sonographers do not even recognize that the ARRT has a sonography certification. The sonographers are sticking together and taking the test given by the ARDMS only. I think we can all learn from this. ARDMS came first and thus these individuals do not have to take the ARRT test just because now they have it. Does this sound familiar?
