Program Overview

International Medical Aid’s Pre-Radiologic Technology Internships introduce you to the fast-paced world of medical imaging. Built for pre-radiology and pre-health students, this program places you in radiology departments where X-ray, ultrasound, CT, and other imaging studies support diagnosis and treatment.
You’ll observe how imaging requests are triaged, how technologists prepare patients, and how radiation safety protocols are applied in busy settings. Because radiation use is tightly regulated, interns are strictly observational. However, you may assist with workflow tasks, such as patient transport, room turnover, and basic non-clinical support, under supervision.
Working in East African and South American hospitals, you’ll also see how radiology teams prioritize scarce resources, handle trauma cases, support maternal-child health, and coordinate with surgeons, physicians, and nurses to guide treatment decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to all the most common questions about International Medical Aid (IMA).

Who should consider the Pre-Radiologic Technology Internships?

Pre-radiology, pre-health, and allied health students interested in imaging sciences or radiologic technology programs are ideal for this track.

Will I operate imaging equipment?

No. For safety and regulatory reasons, interns are not permitted to operate machines or deliver radiation. You observe from safe, designated areas and may help with non-clinical tasks only.

What imaging modalities will I see?

Available modalities vary by site but may include general X-ray, ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopy. In some hospitals, interns may also observe basic interventional procedures from a distance.

What will I learn about radiation safety?

You’ll see how shielding, positioning, and exposure protocols are applied in real time, and how technologists protect patients and staff while obtaining diagnostic images.

Is prior hospital experience required?

No. Professionalism, maturity, and a strong interest in imaging are more important than previous clinical exposure.
