Clerical specialist - MRI - good preparation for pursuing rad tech?

By

I am really interested in pursuing a career as a radiology technologist (likely focusing on MRI in the future, after ARRT) and have been researching programs in the PNW. I am starting by taking two of the prerequisite classes required for admission to the programs at my local community college while also working FT at my (completely unrelated) non-profit job.

Today however, I found a job listing at a local hospital for a “Clerical Specialist” in the MRI department. It doesn’t require much for experience, other than office experience and HS diploma, which I have.

My question is: Should I consider going for this job while I continue to knock out my pre reqs (which is going to take me at least another year)? Would this job give me any sort of leg up in getting accepted to RT programs down the line, or should I continue to work at my current job (which probably offers more flexibility overall than the clerical specialist job) and focus on getting my pre requisites knocked out?

Any advice from others would be greatly appreciated!

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/
