He shares who inspired him to follow through with becoming an RA and how it would require building the profession.

    We spend some time and discuss what efficiency looks like and how our RT roles are incorporated into our work flow.  We both share our experiences with educating RT students and Derek shares how he sees teaching as an opportunity for growing our profession.

    Listen in as we briefly talk about what starting the podcast has looked like, the job market, and how we are continuing to grow.  Sharing his thoughts how the RA was designed to help radiologist and was intended to be utilized in unison with our radiologist.  His passion for the RA career path and passage of MARCA are demonstrated throughout our conversations.
