After completing a Wyoming radiology tech training program, you then need to apply to sit for the national certification examination. This examination will allow you to become a certified radiology technologist in Wyoming and begin the steps toward employment. The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) is responsible for administering this examination and their website (www.arrt.org) can further assist with details regarding the application process for the examination.

The state of Wyoming is one that requires licensure for its radiology technologists. Once you have successfully completed the ARRT exam, your score and other supporting documentation must be submitted to the Wyoming Board of Radiologic Technologists Examiners (WBRTE) to begin the licensure process. This information can be found at http://plboards.state.wy.us/radiology/index.asp. Once you have received your license, you can then begin to practice as a radiology technologist in Wyoming.
