- A preference for this role is being in close enough proximity to our facility that a tech has a reasonable chance of traveling to the hospital within 30 minutes of being called in during non-peak traffic times.
Our on-call system is atypical compared to most hospitals. We try to assign shifts on a monthly basis, based on a tech's availability and interest. The goal is to share the monthly schedule with a small number of techs, affording them more opportunities for financial gain, without overburdening anyone on the schedule. Callbacks are physician driven, and primarily involve urgent exams. In addition to getting paid an hourly rate for being on-call, techs receive 3 hours at 1.5 pay for all callbacks. A callback is complete when all pending exams are performed, which may only involve 1 or 2 exams. This presents a great opportunity for a tech to generate additional income, while working around an existing personal/work schedule, and with limited time commitment. If this position sounds like it might be a good fit, please apply and we are happy to answer any additional questions.
