The goal of a lobby day is to educate state congressman of House Bill – H.B.1545.  There has been years of discussion of the need to have licensure for medical imaging technologists here in Pennsylvania.  So the PSRT and Philadelphia Society of Rad Techs has joined to create a bill to licenses medical imaging technologists.  See tabs below for all the medical imaging technologists.

The Pennsylvania and Philadelphia Societies of Radiologic Technologists are pleased to announce that House Bill 1545 was introduced by Rep. Bryan Cutler, R.T…  House Bill 1545 will establish a Pennsylvania Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Board of Examiners to establish qualifications for licensure and to investigate patient care incidents.
