Andy20035 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hi Guys, I currently work as a CT tech assistant at a level 1 trauma hospital in Wisconsin. My duties on each of my shifts include handling all of the patient duties when the CT techs are busy. I get the patients ready for the scan, flush and remove IVs, administer IV contrast, and transport patients to and from the ER, to name a few. I see and deal with stroke codes, level 1 traumas, inpatients, outpatients, and ICU patients. I cannot find a ton of information as to if my current job would count as a fine site to acquire direct patient care or not, and I am also unable to find any posts of individuals who have had a similar experience as mine. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorecarson121 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Without a doubt that would count. Just make sure you explain your responsibilities clearly on CASPA Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy20035 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Awesome, thank you for the quick response! I have been worried about this for a while now. Follow-up question: I was recently offered a position as an ultrasound/mammography tech assistant at an outpatient clinic. I feel my duties will mainly include clerical work rather than interacting with patients, although my manager told me I would also be assisting in preparing the patients for their mammograms (dressing them, getting them from the waiting room, etc). I feel this position might not offer that much interaction with patients and therefore may not be recognized as that great of patient care by some schools. Thoughts?
