hello po! fresh graduate po ako ng radtech ng SLU and i recently passed the board exams po last december 2023. i spent my time reading the comments and suggestions here po sa forum na ito. and sana po may makatulong. hindi ko po kasi alam kung ano po magandang pathway so i can work as a radiographer in australia, kasi ang hirap po i weigh yung pros and cons for each pathway. gusto ko po sana yung makakasave po ng time and yung mas makakamura po sana sa part namin.
i have no spouse in australia, only relatives. i have no work experiences yet. only yung 1 year clinical internship na kasama po sa curriculum namin.
option 1: should i study a masteral degree? or hindi po siya worth it? since cinoconsider din po namin yung tuition for 2 years. ang nasabi po kasi saakin na pro dito is madali nalang po kumuha ng PR after studying. inisip ko po kasi na mas maganda po ata yung school for 2 years [kesa sa experience na 3 years] kasi may advantage po ako sa APHRA exam and di ko na po need mag apply for ASMIRT
option 2: should i gain experience here in the ph first? if so, strict po ba sila sa mga hospitals na pinasukan niyo? [i.e., should i have experience sa CT, UTS and other modalities other than xray? or should i be employed in hospitals sa NCR since mas kilala po sila?] i am consideing these factors kasi kinakabahan po ako baka kulangan sa skills assessment ng ASMIRT.
also po, baka makabigay po kayo ng estimate costs and tagal po sa mga nagastos niyo during your application.
hoping na may makasagot po sa queries ko, especially sir @noyskie17 and ma'am @thesarahvee since kayo po yung pinaka active dito. thank yous in advance po!
