Becoming a radiologic technologist (R.T.) is an exciting step in an individual’s career pathway. But, what happens afterwards? Radiologic technology extends beyond diagnostic imaging and includes clinical application specialists, educators, PACS administrators, RIS specialists, medical device representatives, researchers and much more. In training, student radiographers learn about the various modalities beyond general radiography like magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, mammography, and bone densitometry. Once officially working as an R.T. in the clinical setting, with exposure to the above modalities, R.T.s may begin to question what they want to do next and seek opportunities for professional growth. Health care is an interdisciplinary field, and R.T.s are exposed to a wealth of alternative modalities and employment opportunities. Which ones should you choose and how do you move into a new role? By researching the current job market, R.T.s can analyze trending opportunities and profitable positions. After identifying opportunities, a self-assessment must be performed to determine goals, strengths, and weaknesses. In this practical and engaging webinar, Professor Jacqueline Peccerillo, R.T. (R)(CT)(BD)(PET), will share actionable strategies to uncover opportunities for professional growth and perform self-assessments to identify fitting opportunities. Professor Peccerillo will also share vignettes describing the journeys that other R.T.s have taken to reach their goals to help attendees take the next steps towards the wisest and most fitting career pathway enhancements.

Learning Objectives After attending this webinar the participants will be better able to: Evaluate employment trends relative to the radiologic technologist profession. Establish SMART goals for career enhancement. Appraise personal strengths and weaknesses. Create a plan to achieve career goals. Approved by the ASRT for Category A continuing education credit.
