Mri Technologist Jobs

Investing in the future

Doctors and nurses are only the tip of the iceberg in the health care sector, however. It also takes a number of allied health professionals — radiologic technologists, sonographers, EKG technicians, respiratory therapists, surgical technicians and others — to support one physician in today’s health care environment.

“A radiologist can make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment based on a radiologic image [X-ray, CT scan, sonogram], but he can’t interpret an image if he doesn’t have one,” said Jim Sass, head of radiologic technology at Gwinnett Technical College in Lawrenceville. “We take great pride in creating good images that we know will help patients along on their medical journey.”

Workers in allied health care occupations need specialized training and often require certification before entering the work force. The majority of that training in the state is delivered through the Technical College System of Georgia. As they assess the community needs, technical college leaders have made allied health care training a top priority for several reasons: it leads to good-paying jobs; the health care employment sector is growing; and it fills a real need in the state.

By 2016, health services will account for one in 11 Georgia jobs, a total of about 430,000. It’s little wonder that new health sciences buildings and programs have cropped up at Atlanta Tech, Columbus Tech, Chattahoochee Tech, Gwinnett Tech and Lanier Tech, to name a few.

“I’m fine with investing in health care education. It benefits everyone,” said Mary Beth Byerly, vice president of institutional advancement at Gwinnett Tech. “When you’re having a heart attack, the paramedic and the lab technicians are part of the equation of good care. We all need the best, and we want to produce the best.”

This fall, Gwinnett Tech will open its new 78,000-square-foot Life Sciences Center. It will serve 3,000 students annually, allowing existing programs to expand and the addition of new ones. Gwinnett Tech will have the second-largest concentration of health care education in the state, behind Georgia Health Sciences University in Augusta.

“Currently, 43 percent of our students are enrolled in health sciences programs. We’ve turned away thousands due to lack of space,” Byerly said. “We started looking at job projections and community growth in 2005. We found that there would be a demand for 27,000 new jobs in health care in our focus region in the next five years; 8,223 of those jobs will be in Gwinnett.
