Answer:

A radiologist is a medical doctor who has completed an undergraduate degree as well as a medical doctor degree. The first step is to be accepted to university into an undergraduate degree, typically a science degree. This undergraduate degree can certainly include a major in psychology as long as the actual degree meets the requirements of the medical school you choose to apply to. Each university will have different admission requirements including a particular degree program, a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) and a requirement to complete the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). Once accepted to medical school you will complete four years of education and near your final year you will apply to your preferred residency training program. This training program will provide you with specialty training to ensure you are skilled and qualified to practice in the area of radiology.
