I am currently majoring in radiology technology in college. I really love science, math, and I enjoy helping people, and I have a part time job at an assisted living home that I enjoy quite a bit. So I thought radiology technology would be a good balance to all those things.
However, my school now wants me to have the COVID-19 vaccination to enter into the program, so it looks like radiology technology may no longer be an option. I am going to try to get exempted but I have spoken to people and the director of the program is very strict, so it looks unlikely that I will.
Does anybody know of any similar programs I could pursue, that hopefully wouldn't require the vaccine?
This is decent advice. Hospital IT systems tend to be unusual and bespoke. And old.
Building on it, learn HL7 and learn how to use a few healthcare IT integration engines (I'm mostly familiar with Mirth, but there are others). It's always a pain getting the various systems and instruments to talk to each other, and each site is unique. Usually a good amount of custom scripting and the like to make it all work.
