Australia has a medical radiation practitioner shortage and when young people consider their career options, medical radiation science isn’t often front of mind. That’s why we partnered with Explore Careers, Australia’s largest early career and employment platform, focused on giving young people the guidance to make decisions about their future.
The ASMIRT Explore Careers profile now includes a brand new video to introduce young people to a career in radiography.
Radiographer Dayna speaks about her university experience, helping a patient recover from a stroke, and the wide range of opportunities for growth within radiography.
"I love my job," Dayna says.
"It's the perfect balance of tech, helping people... and I'm able to switch off at the end of the day and enjoy the things that matter most to me outside of work."
Explore Careers will provide this video to Year 11 and 12 students, and high school career counsellors.
We are grateful to Austin Health for allowing us to film the video on their premises. We released a Radiation Therapist career video last month and look forward to releasing a Nuclear Medicine Technologist career video soon.
