Your experience working during COVID

By

Hello! I hope this is appropriate for the subreddit. Also, sorry if formatting is weird! I don't post very often and I'm on a mobile.

Backstory here, questions are below if you wanna skip!

I started down the path of switching careers last year. I took Healthcare related pre-reqs (I am considering Dental Hygiene as well as Radiology) at a community college in Fall of 2019. I even applied to programs in early 2020. Due to weird admission environment (thanks COVID), I didn't get into any of the programs I applied for despite having a pretty good TEAs score and As and Bs in pre-reqs. I have spent the last few months studying to retake the TEAs, improving grades in pre-reqs, and taking co-reqs for some local programs. I also have had time to sit and think a little TOO much about working in healthcare due to the pandemic. I would love to hear any input on how people in the field feel about COVID safety. My husband is relatively high risk, so I want to avoid bringing it home.

I have a few specific questions:

  • Do you feel relatively safe at work?
  • What steps are you and/or your employers taking to keep you safe?
  • Have you or any of your coworkers contracted COVID while on the job?

Also general questions for someone considering a career in radiology:

  • What are some things you wish someone told you when you started school?
  • I have a feeling once I become an RT, I will want to specialize. Is it possible to specialize while on the job as a Rad Tech? Some specialties that interest me are Radioation Therapy and MRI. I'm pretty hands on and love a dynamic work environment. Are you a rad tech specialist, and if so, what do you love about your specialty?
  • Were you able to work part time/full time while in school?

Thanks in advance for your time!

AI for radiology - A survey

By
Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
