• Verify patient identity, prepare and position patients, and monitor comfort and safety throughout each examination.
• Conduct all required Quality Assurance and Quality Control activities in accordance with FDA/MQSA and American College of Radiology (ACR) standards.
• Review images for technical quality and ensure diagnostic-grade results prior to finalizing each study.
• Document services accurately and on time in Government clinical systems including RPMS, EHR, and PACS.
• Apply radiation-safety and patient-safety best practices consistent with Image Gently and Image Wisely principles on every examination.
• Comply with PIMC infection-control, privacy, security, and patient-care protocols throughout all interactions.

What sets candidates apart:

• Prior experience operating a Hologic Dimensions 2D/3D Tomosynthesis mammography unit.
• Familiarity with Indian Health Service (IHS) clinical systems, including RPMS, EHR, or IHS-specific PACS environments.
• Experience delivering imaging services to Native American or other underserved patient populations.
