A wealth of information, data, and real-world advice on
the radiologic technology work force is now available in the
Recruitment and Retention Tool Kit of the American Society of
Radiologic Technologists (ASRT).
Available at www.asrt.org,
the Tool Kit is a collection of the latest statistics, useful
tips, case studies and how-to information on the topics of recruitment
and retention. Through this resource center, everyone from radiology
managers, hospital HR directors, and radiologic science educators
to radiologists and technologists can do their part to help
strengthen the radiologic technology work force and address
the well-publicized shortage of workers in this profession.
A highlight of the Tool Kit is five streaming video segments
that describe educational options and career opportunities in
radiography, sonography, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy.
Other sections of the Tool Kit include:
- Recruitment--for people investigating the profession as
a career and those responsible for recruiting technologists.
- Retention--for radiology managers who want to improve employee
satisfaction and decrease turnover rates.
- Regulations--provides background information about laws,
regulations, and standards that affect radiologic technologists,
with links to state licensing laws.
- Resources--connects radiologic technologists to career
management tools, patient education materials, and work force
information, with a link to the ASRT's online job-search service.
- References--offers survey data and supply and demand statistics.
- Profiles--features brief, first-person profiles of successful
radiologic technologists who work in clinical settings as
well as in management, education, and industry.
