Radiologic Technologist Reviews

Individual clinics work in silos, with very little standardization across the network. Management is at the mercy of the physicians, leading to long hours for medical assistants, registration, and ancillary staff to accommodate physicians adding on patients when they are not scheduled for clinic, or seeing patients outside of normal clinic hours with little or no notice. This type of culture also means that when changes are made it usually results in more work for non-provider staff to avoid inconveniencing providers. Teams have difficulty finding coverage and hesitate to use the temp agency, so staff is often asked to do more with less. As a technologist in this clinic setting, you will not have anyone in management that understands medical imaging and be able to well represent that portion of the team. The network does not have any imaging management, so technologists are not well-represented in leadership conversations unless you take on the extra responsibility to teach your managers or represent yourself. Benefits may be competitive, but salary is not.
