Why Radiology Travel Assignments Are Booming

March 24, 2023

While travel healthcare originally started with nursing and eventually spread to rehab therapy, radiology travel assignments are becoming commonplace in the medical industry. In fact, a considerable portion of Preferred’s business is in the Radiology field. There is no reason why medical imaging professionals shouldn’t benefit from the advantages of traveling, which are explained in further detail below.

What Do Radiology Travel Assignments Entail?

Radiology travel assignments are short-term positions for medical imaging clinicians that involve working at a healthcare facility for a specified period of time. Staffing agencies recruit radiology candidates on behalf of the client facility to fill a temporary need, which can range from a few weeks to several months. Radiology travelers can be placed in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers. Travel assignments offer a unique opportunity for radiology professionals to explore different parts of the country, gain valuable experience, and expand their professional network. The field of radiology includes several medical imaging professions, such as Rad Techs, CT Techs, MRI Techs, Mammographers, Sonographers, Nuclear Medicine Techs, and more. Radiology travel assignments are ideal for healthcare professionals who enjoy traveling and experiencing new places, all while continuing to practice their chosen profession.
