Job Summary:
The Radiology Technologist (RT) provides direct and/or indirect care of patients. The RT must demonstrate knowledge of the principles of growth and development over the life span and possess the ability to assess data reflective of the patient's status and interpret the appropriate information needed to identify each patient's requirements relative to his or her age-specific needs and to provide the care needed as described in the unit's policies and procedures.
Education:
Required:
Graduate of an approved ARRT radiologic technology program.
Preferred:
None
Experience:
Required:
- Knowledge of general radiology principles and practice skills
- Knowledge of organizational functions, policies and regulations
- Knowledge of current trends and new developments in the cardiovascular arena
Preferred:
Previous clinical experience as an RT-CVS in a Cardiac Cath Lab
Position Requirement(s): License/Certification/Registration:
Required:
- American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Certification
- Current Tennessee Board licensure
- BLS completed before arrival to the unit/ department and maintained going forward
- Current ACLS certification
- Current PALS certification
Preferred:
Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist (RCIS) is preferred and highly encouraged after one year.
Department Position Summary:
The Radiology Technologist provides direct and/or indirect patient care in the Cardiac Cath Lab. Assess patients, administers pharmacological drugs within scope of practice as ordered, performs procedures, operates equipment necessary for assigned patient care, and assists physician with procedures. The RT must be familiar with sterile technique, Cath lab equipment, procedures and radiation safety.
The RT must be able to demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to provide care appropriate to the age of the patients served in the Cardiac Cath Lab. The RT must demonstrate knowledge of the principles of growth and development over the life span and possess the ability to assess data reflective of the patient's status and interpret the appropriate information needed to identify each patient's requirements relative to his or her age-specific needs and to provide the care needed as described in the Cardiac Cath Lab's policies and procedures.
Department Position Summary:
The Radiology Technologist provides direct and/or indirect patient care in the Cardiac Cath and EP Lab. Assess patients, administers pharmacological drugs within scope of practice as ordered, performs procedures, operates equipment necessary for assigned patient care, and assists physician with procedures. The RT must be familiar with sterile technique, cath lab equipment, procedures and radiation safety.
The RT must be able to demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to provide care appropriate to the age of the patients served in the EP Lab. The RT must demonstrate knowledge of the principles of growth and development over the life span and possess the ability to assess data reflective of the patient's status and interpret the appropriate information needed to identify each patient's requirements relative to his or her age-specific needs and to provide the care needed as described in the EP Labs policies and procedures and include but not limited to the following:
-Advanced knowledge of cardiac electrophysiology, including arrhythmia mechanisms, intracardiac signal interpretation, and electrical mapping principles. The specialized knowledge base is electrical vs anatomical focus
-EP procedures are more technically intricate and cognitively demanding- training consists of diagnostic EP studies with programmed electrical stimulation, use of 3D mapping of arrythmia circuits. Requires real-time interpretation and decision support not just procedural assistance.
-Must demonstrate competency supporting complex EP procedures including ablation, device implantation, and electroanatomic mapping.
-Show proficiency in EP-specific technologies including 3D mapping systems, cardiac stimulators, and ablation platforms.
-EP specialty certification (RCES, CEPS, or IBHRE) preferred/required within defined timeframe.
-Ability to analyze and respond to complex electrophysiologic data in real time to support procedural decision-making.
-Maintains ongoing competency with evolving EP technologies and participates in continuous education related to electrophysiology advancements.
