This position offers opportunities for professional growth through cross-training, education on new imaging technologies, and potential advancement into lead or specialty roles. The ideal candidate is self-motivated, reliable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced hospital or clinic setting with varied patient populations, including inpatients, outpatients, and emergency department patients. Flexibility to work rotating shifts, weekends, and holidays may be required based on departmental needs. By joining Presbyterian Healthcare Services, you will be part of a mission-driven, community-focused organization where your technical skills and dedication to quality imaging directly support meaningful health outcomes for patients throughout the Albuquerque region and beyond.
