Ep. 130 Technologist Training and Retention with Alisha Hawrylack and Andrew Struchen

We talk with radiologic technologists Andrew Struchen and Alisha Hawrylack about current training pathways for Vascular and Interventional Technologists, the importance of respect at work and in the lab, as well as key factors in recruiting and retaining top notch A-team technologists. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/xxskLL --- SHOW NOTES In this episode, interventional radiologic technologists Alisha Hawrylack and Andrew Struchen join Dr. Aaron Fritts to discuss the important role of IR technologists in the lab and major factors that affect their recruitment, training, and retention. To start, we discuss the current state of IR technologist training. Alisha describes two major educational pathways, structured training programs and on-the-job training. She says that while both modes of training can be effective, structured training programs are likely to provide deeper knowledge of anatomy and IR procedures. Andrew gives an overview of the yearlong IR technologist program at the University of Virginia, which offers a mix of didactic learning, clinical training, and mentorship. We also briefly outline the ARRT and RCIS certification requirements. Next, we address job satisfaction and turnover of IR technologists. We discuss increasing workload, staffing concerns, and the need to feel engaged in cases. Andrew recognizes that if these problems are not addressed, technologists will start seeking other opportunities, such as careers within industry. Alisha emphasizes that technologists at academic institutions are excited about innovative procedures and seek ways to positively contribute to outcomes. Finally, we discuss team culture and ways to cultivate respectful relationships between technologists and other clinicians. We talk about our experiences with giving team members the benefit of the doubt, learning how to work with other teammates, and resolving miscommunication. --- RESOURCES Charles J.
