• Licensure: Must hold and maintain an active Rhode Island (RI) State Radiographer License.
• Skills: Proficiency in the English language and the ability to work independently across varied shifts (FLEX).
• Experience: While no specific years are listed, "Critical Order" status suggests a need for a tech who is competent to work solo during night or evening hours.

• Location: Providence, RI 02905.
• On-Call: No on-call requirement listed.

Clinical Spotlight: The Flex Radiographer

In a Flex role, your technical "eye" must be consistent across all environments. Whether you are performing a routine outpatient chest X-ray at 10:00 AM or a high-stakes portable trauma film in the ER at 3:00 AM, your ability to manipulate the X-ray tube and collimator to achieve the perfect diagnostic view is paramount.

Your role in the diagnostic chain is essential; you are the one capturing the data that allows the radiologist to detect everything from a subtle hairline fracture to a critical pulmonary finding.
