Certs serve a purpose (although they're not all equal). Get it if you believe it'll benefit you. The anti-cert crowd will tell you otherwise, but proper preparation is key. Do what must be done to be a king when kingdom comes. When you stay ready you'll never have to get ready.

Hello,
I’m a MRI technologist with bachelors in radiologic science. My goal is to become epic analyst. I do have a proficiency in Radiant. However, I am not having much luck with any applications. Almost all the postings require actual certification or build experience. I am thinking that I may have to go back to school. My options are either go for masters or go for another bachelors in IT/computer science. What could be my other options? Thank you.
