UW Health has announced a brand new program aimed at addressing the increasing need for skilled imaging professionals.
The MRI Technologist Apprenticeship program will also provide a new career pathway in advanced medical imaging for medical students.
The use of MRI is rapidly growing in health care, offering detailed images without the use of ionizing radiation.
Technologists play a critical role in patient care and diagnostic accuracy of MRI, operating complex imaging systems while ensuring patient safety and comfort, according to Bridgett Willey, director of allied health education and career pathways at UW Health.
She also noted, “This program is an innovative way to meet the growing demand for MRI technologists while supporting career advancement for individuals passionate about patient care and technology.”
