William Edward Allen, JR the first African-American X-Ray Technologist | MRI MAN Podcast with Gabby

On this episode me and Gabby talk about William Edward Allen, Jr the first certified African American X-ray technologist.

William Edward Allen, Jr is credited as the first Black certified X-Ray technologist. He’s been credited with considerable contributions to medicine, particularly in nuclear medicine and radiation therapy for cancer patients
Allen enrolled Howard University in 1923 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the ROTC. Four years later, he earned his B.S. in chemistry from Howard and then graduated with his medical degree in 1930.

He interned at Homer G Phillips Hospital, and spent his residency in radiology. In 1935, he was named as an approved specialist in Radiology, and was just the fifth Black American given this honor. Four years later, while sitting for his board exams, he wasn’t even allowed to ride the hotel’s main elevator, instead required to take the freight elevator, even though he was a member of the American College of Radiology.

He also worked relentlessly for increased access to medical education for African-American students. He created one of the first residencies in radiology in the 1930s for underrepresented students at the Homer G Phillips Hospital, the city’s first Black-operated hospital, established in 1937. Over time, that program graduated more than 200 Black radiographers, nuclear medicine technologists, and radiation therapists. Allen was a man dedicated to breaking barriers. He was the first African-American to receive the Gold Medal from the American College of Radiology.
