RadNet and JVS SoCal Create ImagingWorks®, an Innovative Partnership to Launch Career Training Programs for Medical Imaging
15 Febbraio 2024 - 12:00PM
RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing
high-quality, cost-effective outpatient diagnostic imaging
services, today announces the formation of a new diagnostic imaging
career training program created in partnership with JVS SoCal, a
workforce development non-profit and social service agency.
ImagingWorks® intends to address a growing need for qualified
candidates for careers in diagnostic imaging through creating a
comprehensive program for workforce education and training, which
shall include internships and job placement upon graduation at
RadNet or at other similar diagnostic imaging facilities.
ImagingWorks® is generously privately funded by the Berger
Family Trust, which shares JVS SoCal’s mission to help people
achieve dignity and economic independence through sustainable
employment. Through this support, Karen and Howard Berger, M.D.
(RadNet’s President and Chief Executive Officer), are helping close
the opportunity gap in a specialized field that equips students for
well-paying, meaningful careers in medical imaging.
“With a shortage of qualified healthcare workers, and
specifically imaging technologists, our efforts with ImagingWorks®
will help expand the pool of well-trained people interested in
careers within diagnostic imaging,” said Dr. Berger.
Dr. Berger continued, “We intend to impact the careers and lives
of newcomers to the healthcare and diagnostic imaging industries as
well as RadNet’s existing employee base who seek training and
upward mobility. RadNet’s clinical expertise paired with JVS
SoCal’s history of career training programs align with the legacy
of the Berger Family Trust to have a lasting impact on the lives of
RadNet’s current and future employees and the diagnostic imaging
industry at large. RadNet intends to support the program with
curriculum formation, training, internship programs, and in some
cases, tuition reimbursement and scholarships.”
“This is a one-of-a-kind partnership with a community-based
organization to help develop a more robust medical imaging
workforce. RadNet will initially support students at up to twelve
RadNet clinical sites across Southern California. Students can earn
income while they learn and gain statewide credentials. We are
proud to partner with Karen and Howard Berger and RadNet on this
special initiative,” said JVS SoCal CEO Jeff Carr.
Initially, ImagingWorks® will launch a hybrid, entry-level
program lasting approximately 12 weeks. This will include training
to perform bone densitometry and to sit for California’s Dual
Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) exam, to assist MRI
technologists as a Tech Aide and to prepare for becoming a Patient
Service Representative (PSR), including knowledge of medical
terminology, customer service, patient care, scheduling and
insurance.
In subsequent phases, ImagingWorks® intends to offer ultrasound
and MRI technologist training, as well as a more complex
accreditation by issuing associate degrees for radiologic
technologists through partnerships in markets across the
country.
“RadNet has been a leading employer-partner of JVS SoCal,
especially in our CareerWork$ Medical® program, having hired dozens
of graduates since 2019. Through the new ImagingWorks® partnership,
RadNet continues its legacy of community involvement and social
responsibility,” concluded Mr. Carr.
