5 Minute Radiography

Jeremy Enfinger
Education
This podcast accompanies my YouTube channel, and helps build confidence, skill, and efficiency to provide the best possible patient care. Radiography as a career is much more than simply pushing a button. You need to continually grow in our knowledge and understanding of the radiologic technologist skill set, while keeping up-to-date on the latest technological changes in the field, and keeping radiation dose as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).

Introduction to 5 Minute Radiography

This show was recorded last year, and I have received a few requests to put this podcast back out there for archival purposes and to allow the feed to live on. I may add to this show periodically, but may not be able to maintain a regular production schedule at this time.
