What general advice would you give to a Staff Technologist?
Dr. Heidi Shelton D.C., R.T(R): There are many ways to maximize your salary potential, anywhere from taking on extra shifts and call, to taking on bigger responsibilities like a leadership or supervisor role. It is important to maintain your registry through valid continuing education credits that would actually improve your skills and benefit the clinic or hospital you work at. In addition, post-primary certifications can also allow you to obtain a higher salary. Most importantly, working with a financial planner will help you learn how to save and maximize your income.
What Staff Technologist skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?
Dr. Heidi Shelton D.C., R.T(R): Soft skills and communication are more important than ever. It is paramount that you communicate to your patient, their family, and other healthcare providers effectively. As we see more technological advances, it becomes easier for us to step away from one-on-one interaction with our patients. However, good communication remains the key to the success of your exam.
