Patient safety, keeping things moving efficiently, controlling costs, and making sure patients are satisfied are all on your list.
You coordinate everything in your assigned area. That includes patient flow, safety, satisfaction for both patients and physicians, and making sure care is coordinated across different Radiology departments. It's on you to ensure full staffing coverage with competent people during all operating hours.
- Assume the duties of a Technologist every shift.
- Develop the annual departmental budget and focus on cost containment.

We also need you to have ACLS certification and a current CPR card. An RCIS or RDCS certification is required too.
A TDH license is part of the package as well. Three years of related work experience is preferred but not an absolute deal breaker if you're strong everywhere else.
A few more specifics
