A Brief History

 The University of Guyana started its Associate degree in Radiography from 1966 to 2006. Later in 2013 this program underwent a complete revision of its curriculum by the Pan American Health Organisation, RAD-AID International with endorsement from Ms. Cynthia Cowling, Director of Education, International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologist (ISSRT). The revised curriculum was upgraded to a B.Sc. Medical Imaging, with students completing all degree requirements within Four (4) years.
