Many of you have an idea of what I do, but do you actually understand what I do? What the heck is a vascular interventional technologist?!
Let's face it, the general public has little to no idea what an imaging technologist does. Sure, we've all heard of xray techs and ultrasound techs, but what in the world do they actually do?!
The Be Seen campaign is helping to try and change that. Why? Because there are so many lawmakers out there trying to pass bills to change our industry and allow less credentialing to your fellow imaging professionals.
Picture this. You have a plumbing issue. Who do you call? The licensed plumber who has been trained to unclog your toilet or the random dude who works for a company that does "crap" jobs, with zero to little training who overflows your toilet so much that you not only have to replace your toilet but now you have to deal with water damage.
It's the same scenario in Healthcare. You, the general public needs licensed and credentialed imaging professionals to image wisely and help your doctor diagnose that small nodule that is precancerous or that DVT that could travel through your body and cause a deadly pulmonary embolism.
We can't trust anyone off the street to do these jobs. Things WILL get missed. Diagnoses WILL turn out to be wrong. We need trained licensed professionals to take care of our patients.
You may not know us, but health care wouldn’t be the same without us. Learn how vital our profession is to modern health care. See what we do: https://www.as...
