How much MA work falls under our scope of practice as an x-ray tech at an urgent care?

By

I'm working a travel contract at a pretty slow urgent care for x-rays so they seem to be expecting me to do a lot more medical assistant duties like strep and COVID swabs and doing general vitals on patients and that sort of thing.

I don't have a problem getting vitals and even running some swabs that the MA has already taken if I'm not busy but I don't want to be expected to run out and get vitals and do MA duties on every other patient that comes in.

I'm confident enough to tell them I don't feel comfortable doing some of these things but I'm just wondering if I legally am not supposed to be doing intrusive things like swabs in the throat if I'm not licensed as an MA?

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/
