RA Roundtable 2: Survey and Education
from CollaborationRA · host CollaborationRA
A group of RA's comes together to share on debunking the myths that surround the profession and share on the growth within the profession. Together we hit some of the harder topics surrounding salary, the current job market, how we practice in states without RA licensure, and how we can better educate on our profession. Marcelene Forbus and Reece Burgoon were joined by some of our fellow RA's ( Wesley Shay, David Hardwick, Elisabeth Eslich, Derek Medeiros, Joseph Ferreri, and Heather Berge) to help gain different perspectives in these discussions. Timeline: (0:37) Intro (4:07) State recognition and discussion over states without RA licensure. (11:09) RA 2018 and 2023 salary survey through the SRPE. (14:32) Current job market and turn over of RA positions that are going unfilled. (19:42) Understanding that various types of midlevels can work well together in the different roles. (21:53) Finding the solution to educating properly on the RA at the RT educational programs. (29:20) RT offers advanced pathways similar to other healthcare professionals. (32:05) Doing your own research and using caution when seeking information out from others or the internet. (36:29) Educating on how professionals societies work towards better recognition.
