This week, I talk about protocols are the backbone of CT, yet new CT technologists don't understand them or are confused on how to read them. I also give you some insight on how to approach this in simple ways.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Difference between knowing a protocol and understanding it.
• What to do when a hospital's protocol differs from what you learned.
• How to interpret and adapt protocols without making mistakes.
• I share a personal story: a technologist that struggled with protocols and how they improved.

This week, I talk about why some technologists that transition into computed tomography pick up faster than others. I discuss that learning curves are different and some tips to improve learning the basics.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• The importance of hands-on learning vs just passing the registry.
• Confidence doesn't come from knowledge, it comes from practice, repetition and consistency.
• Why hospitals barely provide structured training and the importance of coaching and mentorship.
• I share a personal story of a struggling technologist that transformed with the right guidance.

On the podcast this week, I talk about some common CT myths that are said, yet not always true. I debunk some of these myths with my own personal perspectives and the ways this can block your success.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• CT programs vs. on-the-job training: is a program needed, or is cross training better?
• Length of training for both paths.
• 2 months of training is enough for a new technologist.
• Passing the registry will make you a competent technologist.
• I share a personal story: a technologist who went through a program and one who trained on the job, plus their experience from both scenarios.
