PACS Experience
I was laid off from my job a little bit ago as a PACS administrator. I have four years of experience. I started off as a entry-level.
Over the four years I’ve learned a lot, but I feel like I would not be valuable if another company were to hire me.
I was told the reason why I was laid off is because of lack of knowledge. During my time at this company, I pushed a lot to learn everything I possibly could, but I did not learn a lot of detail about DICOM or HL7.
I did pass my CIP, which is a huge accomplishment. I have since applied for several PACS jobs without any luck. I am forced to have it to go back into mammography/x-ray. This has been a huge slap in my face having to go back. I’m trying to keep my chin up and keep going and keep applying.
I know that this is a stop over, but it still sucks. Any advice or encouragement would be helpful.
