Student Section
For all things student to build the next generation of super techs! At the Oregon Society of Radiologic Technologists we value our student membership and provide valuable resources, educational opportunities, camaraderie, and mentorship. Applications for student positions open in the fall.
Student Board Member
The OSRT student board member acts as a voice for students in the state while learning who the OSRT is and how it works. The Student Board Member is included in society committees and produces the annual Skiagram Newsletter! Applications open in the fall and a student board board member serves from January to January.

Program Liaisons
OSRT Student Liaisons serve as the bridge between students members and the OSRT board. A liaison is selected for each of the four primary pathway programs in Oregon, Linn Benton Community College, Oregon Health and Science University, Oregon Institute of Technology, and Portland Community College. Liaisons attend OSRT meetings, join committees, and volunteer during the OSRT Annual Meeting & Conference.​

​
Who can get a temporary license?
A student in a radiologic science program who is on track to graduate within 5 months.
​
What restrictions are there to working?
A radiologist or registered RT must be in the building and accessible should you need help. You cannot get paid for clinic hours, so do not be clocked in for school and work. Your hospital or educational program might have further restrictions.
​
When do I need to renew?
Temporary licenses are valid for 6 months. When you take your registry, you have 30 days to submit your credentials to OBMI for a permanent license once you receive them.
Can I work at multiple hospitals/clinics on a temporary license?
Yes, you can either add multiple locations in your application process or add “Places of Business” from your account page.
What do I need to apply for temporary license while I am still a student?
The applicant portal will guide you through the steps, but you will need: the signature of your program director; the signature, full name and credential, and license number of the supervising physician; the address(es) of the facility you are hoping to work at – you do not need confirmed employment.

Since 2022 the Rad Tech Clubs of each radiologic science program in the state have been challenged to produce a video celebrating technologists. Every year since, students put together funny, relatable, and heartfelt videos!
Our life members vote for their favorite video that captures the love and support technologists around the state give to their students. The videos are presented via social media during Radiologic Technologist's Week (Around November 8th) and at the annual conference in April, where the coveted skeleton trophy is passed on to the next year.
