A Career As A Radiology Tech Career

Jessica Reinhart 3/8/2017 Health Science II Trauma Surgeon     Trauma surgery encircles treatment of the most severe, life-threatening, pungent  and blunt force injuries. For example, car wrecks, sport injuries, heart attack, and suicide attempts. A career as a trauma surgeon involves operating on critical, and often several injuries to unlike organ systems. Some of the commonly operated on organs are the pancreas, spleen, stomach, and colon. Trauma surgeons also work with surgeons in other specialties to help balance patients who are  in critical condition, and usually work in the emergency care area of a hospital or medical center.     Students  who are wanting to become  trauma surgeons must first receive a bachelor's degree in areas such

My dream has always been to travel while helping those in need.Which I can make a career out of or I can always go volunteer with like “Love Volunteer”. Love Volunteer is an all round travel volunteer service that is really affordable and something I’d look forward to doing. My goal is to maintain a A-B average at school while studying medical tool terminology . One of my peeves is I don’t want to attend college for more than 2 years. So hopefully right after graduation i can jump right into my career choice which is a Surgical Technician. It doesn’t take very long to get a degree in this career. They get paid very well and i want to be able to a have a stable financial life. I’m a very adventurous and all around generous person yet i’m very

Having college experience really allowed me to explore different careers including social work and nursing, but radiology technology really peaked my interest. Having past ankle surgery, I realized being a radiographer can allow me to help others, which is the main goal I am wanting

In third grade was the first time I had ever had an x-ray taken. I was mesmerized by the ability of the doctors to look at my bones through a hug machine attached to the ceiling, however I was terrified. The radiologic technologist calmed me down and distracted my attention of my broken bone by explaining the process of taking an x-ray. Ever since that day, I have wanted to be a radiologic technician to have the ability to impact patient’s life like she did mine. I want a career where I can further my education, expand my experience, and help the world around me.

I chose to research this career because it is something that I have been wanting to pursue for a very long time. My shoulder was injured in wrestling and it has never been the same since, this is a major contributing factor to my career path. I want to be able to help others who are injured or in pain, because I know what it feels like.

The ideal practice for me is one where I may directly apply my experiences during my recent years of formal and informal education. The major components that will be integrated into my medical career are conducting pragmatic research, aiding underserved communities, and maintaining sustained patient interactions.

This machine known as a x-ray can send a jolt of radiation past your skin and expose you to your bare anatomy and give a crystal clear image of what your bones really look like. My dream job is to be a x-ray technician. This job would bring together my love of modern medicine with my fascination of new medical technology, how medical tools can assist with the overall quality of life. I have always enjoyed science and how it can be applied to technology to make healthcare easier to administer. Additionally, i'm interested in this career because learning how to work these pieces of technology and understanding them is a challenge and any challenge you can overcome in life makes you stronger.

Those who are not interested in dealing with blood or gore on a daily basis, can still find a position in the medical field. (“The Important facts about Careers in the Medical Field”, December 2010) There are many different kinds of positions in the medical field. I will advise you about 5 different jobs: Nuclear Medical Technologist, EMT Paramedic, Medical Assistance, Nutritionist, and Occupational therapy.

To begin, I watched a professional profile video using a CD that came with my textbook. The name of the profession is called: Nuclear Medicine Technologist. This profession is practiced at either a general hospital or in ambulatory care facilities. The profession named: Nuclear Medicine Technologist; also known as a Radiology worker, is used in an integral way in health care. For example, in the textbook called, Health Science Fundamentals, the authors stated: Radiology workers operate x-ray equipment in order to take pictures of the internal parts of the body. In addition, the x-rays provide valuable information for the diagnosis and treatment of varying patients (Badasch & Chesebro, 2009, p. 76). Moreover, in searching for a Nuclear Medicine/Radiology Technician, there are a number of different resources available.

One of these professionals is the surgical technologist who belongs to a separate non-nursing discipline of a highly skilled allied health practitioner. They are a group of individual specially trained in surgical instrumentation and procedures. They go through an extensive academic and practical schooling in the field of surgical technology. A lot trained in the military or a graduate from an accredited surgical technology program, but most only received OJT as transitioning employees within the hospitals department.

The choice of pursuing a medical career came naturally to me. Both of my parents are doctors and they have been the inspiration for my own journey to pursue a career in medicine. However, with many subfields, the medical field is quite expansive and over the years I have found that a few particular medical concepts have heightened my intellectual interest.

My biggest inspiration in choosing my career path was getting a summer job. This past summer I had the opportunity of working in the radiology department at Opelousas General. I got the chance to experience what Radiologist, Rad techs, Nuclear Med Techs, MRI techs, CT techs and Ultrasound techs tasks are like on a daily basis. My job was to assist the transporters when getting patients in the hospital for either an x-ray, ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine test, CT or MRI. As a summer student at OGHS, I got to communicate with different techs about their experiences. Being a Radiology and Sonography major I asked lots of questions about their job and I learned lots of things I never knew about this field of medicine. Some things I have learned is

After I graduate high school I would like to go to college to study Radiologic Science. It would be ideal for me to stay in Missouri to do that so my “dream college” that I would like to attend the most would be Mizzou. Mizzou is known for its School of Medicine and has a very good ranking against other schools. There are a lot of different classes to choose from so a student could choose to get a broader understanding of the field or focus on a certain part of it. There program also teaches the students social skills, how to communicate with students, and make proper observations. I could apply to the Radiology program my Sophomore year at Mizzou after I finish all of my prerequisite classes. For me to get accepted into Mizzou, my best option

The first surgeon we’ll look at is a trauma surgeon. Trauma surgery is a surgical specialty that utilizes both operative and non-operative management to treat traumatic injuries, typically in the abdominal region or in the cranial region such as trauma from a head injury. Trauma surgeons generally complete residency training in General Surgery and often becoming an assistant surgeon in trauma or surgical critical care. The trauma surgeon is responsible for initially resuscitating the patient, and or stabilizing the patient. The attending trauma surgeon also leads the trauma team, which typically includes nurses as well as resident physicians in the hospitals.

Radiography, which is a very important step in medical filed and provides enhanced information of health issues to deal with different kinds of health problems. As far my understanding and to why I would like to pursue career in this field of Radiography, I thing the Radiography is the first line of defiance after doctors try to understand person’s condition to diagnose through high quality images of organs in the different parts of body and treat patients of all types and ages from very elderly to young as well as special need patients, such as hearing impairments and visual. As growing up in the small town, I experienced a lot of sadness due to family members deaths due to lack of medical services and or due to lack of services that are beyond the treatments of just fever and choughs. And by the time people go to big cities to get treated, its either too late or people just don’t have a opportunity to go due to lack of money etc.. I had decide after experiencing and witnessing so many horrible stories of families, the one that always stayed close to my heart was a young girl who died giving birth to her first baby due to lack of medical services. She was just in her twenties and had she gotten help from medical professional, the life would have taken a different path for her and
