So I am desperately seeking a job change. I’ve been working as a CT tech for the past 10 years and I am definitely feeling burnt out from the demands of CT. It’s non stop patients with no support. It is getting very exhausting.
IR/ Cath lab has peeked my interest. I like the fact that you only have one patient at a time that you can focus on as opposed to CT where they expect you to see patients one after the other like a conveyor belt. I also like the fact that you work as a part of a team as opposed to CT where you are just left on your own to scan an infinite number of exams.
I was wondering how to break into IR/ Cath lab from CT with no experience.
I have a lot of experience doing routine CT, CTAs Cardiac CTAs and CT guided biopsies, but no interventional experience. All the positions near me only want experienced techs and no one is willing to train an eager CT tech into IR/ cath.
What is the most common way to transition into IR/ cath lab with no experience? is there anything I could do or say to help me get one of these positions.
