Thank you for your interest in The Mary Washington Hospital School of Radiologic
Technology. The Radiologic Technologist program at Mary Washington Hospital
began in 1991 and graduated its first class of seven students in 1993.
The program has successfully graduated over 100 Radiographers with an
overall 92% first time ARRT pass rate. Furthermore, the program has 94%
job placement rate since its 1991 inception. The first classes were held
across from the Mary Washington Hospital building at 2301 Fall Hill Ave
in Fredericksburg, VA. As the school grew and more space became available
the school relocated to the General Washington Building at 2217 Princess
Anne Street in Fredericksburg. In 2006 the program moved to its current
home on Fall Hill Avenue, where we continue to strive for excellence in
the imaging sciences.
We offer a
Certificate in Radiologic Technology for entry-level professionals pursuing a
