As a PRN MRI Technologist, you are required to produce cross-sectional images for medical interpretation through radiofrequencies within a magnetic field for diagnostic purposes. The technologist performs MRI procedures by acquiring and analyzing data needed for diagnosis at the request of and for interpretation by a licensed practitioner. The technologists independently perform or assist a licensed practitioner in the completion of magnetic resonance imaging procedures. Technologists prepare, administer and document activities related to contrast administration in accordance with federal and state laws, regulations, or lawful institutional policy. They will interact with all healthcare staff, many clerical staff members, all patient care departments and with patient’s families and visitors through oral communication and documentation in the patient’s electronic medical record. This position is held accountable for performing the correct MRI exams and producing high quality diagnostic images, while maintaining proficiency and complying with company policies and procedures. The role will require flexibility with availability as a per-diem technologist, responding promptly to requests for coverage due to absences or vacations, and covering at minimum one shift in a 30 day period.
