FatMalky:
Hi,

I'm a Sr HP, working on the road, but am wondering if there are any job opportunities in the medical field of this kinda work?

I'd be willing to take some courses during my "off-seasons" and gather the quals I'd need, but does anyone know what these would be?  Working in hospitals etc. would be good.

I'm guessing it's obviously gonna be linked to Radiographer type positions, but what else is out there?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

FatMalky.

Major medical pharmaceutical companies such as Bristol-Meyers-Squibbs and Tyco produce radioactive pharmaceuticals for imaging.

They have production facilities that employ full hierarchies of HPs : JHP tech, SHP tech, HPs, CHPs, RSO, etc. Jobs range from scheduled surveys, job coverage, planning, casualty control, radioassay, etc.

I overheard talk recently of a potential job as a hospital HP.  Does anyone have any experience in this area?  I have seen a qualification for medical physicist that require MS or Phd.  I can't qual on that but do think I meet RSO standards.  Any one have clue of potential pay scales?  After nearly 25 years, working in the airconditioning has a certain appeal

There are many 2 yr degree programs (and 4 yr) for Radiology Technician (x-ray, CAT, MRI, etc). Do a Google search for schools in your area, there are about 4 within an hour of me (MA/NH/VT border), so they have to be pretty common. If this field folds up, it's what I am looking at.....
