Introduction to Department:
As a second rotation department, Radiology provides a smooth transition for Care Extenders that desire
hands on experience with various imaging services. The Radiology department is known for its
versatility, where Care Extenders are welcome to extend their services in departments such as the ER,
Med-surg, and CCL. Care Extenders are expected to assist technicians with various imaging techniques,
facilitate a smooth visit for patients to the Radiology department, and provide a yearning desire to
learn about the art of imaging/diagnosing in patient care.
Tips on Success:

•
Be proactive!
Remember; you’re there to help AND get clinical experience! Ask what not the hospital can
do for you, but what you can do for the hospital!
Get to know the Care Partners, Nurses, AND Doctors, the entire hospital staff!
