Jobs in Healthcare

Radiologic Technologist

I’ve been a registered xray tech for a year now, and now wanting to pursue a different modality. Ive been really interested in branching out into the mammography field. I’ve only ever had experience working at an orthopedic clinic, and I’m not sure how to go about emailing a local hospital if they could be a clinical site for me since I had already had clinicals there as a xray student. Could any one give me any advice?
