The Benefits of Volunteering With ARRT: Making a Difference in Medical Imaging, Interventional Procedures, and Radiation Therapy
People volunteer for a variety of reasons, but volunteering with ARRT is not a typical volunteer experience; you aren't going to work a shift near your home, you won't be meeting new people in your zip code, and you aren't likely to meet your fellow volunteers in person. However, if you are a current or past committee member or item writer, hopefully you have experienced some of these benefits:
- Strengthening your industry and discipline
- Collaborating with other professionals about the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform the job at entry level
- Learning about techniques and procedures other R.T.s are using in their practices
- Networking
- Meeting people from across the country who are working in different aspects of your discipline
- Learning new or developing current skills (depending on your role)
- Learning how to write or evaluate exam questions
- Honing teamwork skills that may differ from work teams
- Learning the "hows and whys" of certification examination and continuing registration
- Did you know there is a psychology component to developing exams?
- Enhancing your resumé
- Highlighting this specialized volunteer experience on a resumé might be that edge you want to showcase your dedication
We value and appreciate all our volunteers! If you haven't heard from us about an active volunteer position, don't worry-we still have you in mind as opportunities become available.
