From April 9 through April 11, members of UVA’s Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging attended the 2025 Student, Educator, and Technologist Seminar to meet with the future radiologic technologists of Virginia — and potentially, their future colleagues at UVA Health.

Diagnostic Imaging Supervisors Robert Hunsberger and Michael May, OR Imaging Supervisor Samantha Shoemaker, and IR Education Program Coordinator Amber Simmons spoke with attendees of the event, hosted by the Virginia Society of Radiologic Technologists. 

The UVA Radiology team shared information with radiography students from across the state about career opportunities at UVA Health. They handed out brochures with links to job opportunities, and even held an interview at the conference with the hopes of growing the UVA Radiology family.

Back in Charlottesville, the department continues to play an active role in training the next generation of radiologic technologists through a partnership with the Piedmont Virginia Community College’s Radiography Program. These students participate in clinical training at a variety of UVA sites such as University Medical Center and Orthopedic Center Ivy Road.
