What will you be doing?

The Imaging Technician works under the supervision of the veterinary lead for diagnostic imaging to include MRI and Nuclear Scintigraphy. This position manages the preparation of horses for the MRI and Nuclear Scintigraphy and acts as liaison for referring veterinarians. The incumbent demonstrates strong technical skills with a broad knowledge base of all aspects of hospital operations and enjoys educating and leading others. Responsibilities broadly include ensuring that patient care standards are maintained using B.W Furlong & Associates Core Values as a guide and acts as a resource for the hospital team. This position carries all the job duties of a Hospital Technician with additional responsibilities for imaging. It is full time (37+ hours/week) and requires flexibility to manage the imaging patient caseload, on-call obligations, and contributing to Hospital patient care when not imaging. Imaging Technicians work as part of the larger Hospital team, alongside our doctors, with other technicians, and independently, to perform procedures, treatments, and services.

This position is ideal for someone who has a formal education/certification as a veterinary technician, has worked as a vet tech or vet assistant either in small or large animal practice, or has extensive experience providing medical care for horses in a barn setting.

The ideal candidate will be excited by learning new skills, have a high attention to detail and patience for capturing exceptional images, and will have a passion for providing world class care for our patients and clients.
