Mission

Turn complex molecular signals into clear answers for patients and providers. In this PET-focused role, you advance care by pairing technical mastery with calm, compassionate patient interaction.

Imagine this scenario

A patient arrives for a PET scan, worried about the unknown. You greet them, perform a thorough assessment, establish IV access, and explain each step. You prepare and administer the radiopharmaceutical precisely, align the protocol, and capture diagnostic-quality images—always within ALARA principles and infection control standards. When a scan reveals a potential urgent issue, you document accurately and escalate findings immediately. Throughout the day, you keep the suite compliant and well-stocked and support care in other areas or an off-site location when asked.
