School of Radiography, Jamaica
I enjoy that I am able to aid the physician in making the diagnosis to help a patient become well again and to help younger radiologists and radiographers learn the art of the profession.
The most challenging part of my job is to motivate the younger radiographers to keep up the standards and at the same time to gain their utmost job satisfaction from this. It has become increasingly difficult to this as the culture of the younger generation changes and the means to motivate them is becoming harder.
25-30
The most memorable moment of my career occurs when I hear some of the younger radiographers correctly quote some bit of information that I have imparted to them and follow the directions without prompting. It makes me feel good because it proves that I am making a positive impact on their professional lives and hopefully it will stand them in good stead.
I would like to be able to improve the working conditions in my department and implement the necessary protocols for a good quality assurance programme.
No and yes I have considered it.
I would tell them that it is a good profession to enter but not to become bogged down in the day to day, to move up and onward as the profession grows so should they grow with it.
I see the role of the radiographer becoming more involved in the treatment of a patient rather than the role it now plays in the diagnostic capacity. As the imaging modes increase and become more user dependent, the role of the diagnostician will also evolve.
