Continuity & Advocacy

Elizabeth Eslich (RT, MRS, RRA) joins hosts Reece Burgoon (RT, RRA) and Marcelene Forbus (RT, RPA) to discuss various topics within the imaging profession.  Mrs. Eslich takes us quickly through her history as an RT going into the RA profession and offers advise for those currently in the program. She continues on to share a simple but impactful statement of what MARCA represents to her and advocating at the nations capital. If you are wanting to learn more about RAD AID, listen in as she explains her unique experience volunteering and going overseas as an imaging professional.  Mrs. Eslich explains how to register to be a volunteer with RAD AID and what to expect after registering.  As the conversation continues we get to learn more about her role with the ASRT and ARRT and her representation as a RA delegate.  Ms. Eslich explains how to be nominated as an RA delegate, what the role looks like, and what criteria needs to be met to qualify to become an RA delegate. We finish the conversation with discussing the recent topic of the analog days when the technologist would go into the reading rooms to discuss images or hanging films.  We have all noticed the shift over time and we all offer different advice for those of us looking to strengthen the bond between technologist and radiologist. We were so grateful to have the opportunity to share in the discussions with Mrs. Eslich and we were excited to share who she is and what she is doing for the profession.  We hope that you found it inspirational!
