The Lumexa Imaging Technologist Advancement Academy is a company-sponsored training program that allows technologists to gain certification in additional imaging modalities, such as MRI, CT, ultrasound, and mammography. The program leverages Lumexa Imaging’s cadre of seasoned trainers and incorporates innovative tools like ScanLabMR™, a state-of-the-art imaging simulator, into its modern, inclusive training methods.
Open positions in the Academy are filled by current USRS technologists interested in advancing their careers and compensation, as well as through hiring external candidates who currently hold certification as x-ray technologists into designated trainee positions where they can advance to other modalities.
“I started my career with Touchstone Imaging as an X-ray tech 14 years ago. After two years, I was given a great opportunity to cross-train in MRI.
“This opportunity opened many doors within the company. After working several years as a multi-modality tech, I accepted a lead tech position at one of our high-volume centers which lead me to my current role as the Center Manager of the Mesquite location. I am tremendously appreciative of the initial cross-training opportunity so many years ago that began my continued growth within the company.”
“This will sound cliche, but the most rewarding part of my job is serving my community. I have lived and worked in Tucson for a decade and some change. People come up to me all the time while I am out and thank me for helping them or their loved ones. I have some patients make the trip back to the clinic to celebrate being cancer free with me
“I started my journey with Touchstone in 2019 as an X-ray technologist. I knew that I wanted to further my education, and Touchstone provided me with the opportunity to expand my knowledge and skills with cross-training in mammography. My manager came to me and presented me a phenomenal opportunity to learn about mammography while the company paid for my course and allowed me to complete my supervised hands-on training at Touchstone. I was able to ask questions and receive help every step of the way. I truly enjoy working with the staff here.”
I left the hospital setting in search of a healthier work–life balance, and at Lumexa I’ve found exactly that. Beyond balance, I’ve gained opportunities for growth, advancement, and a true voice in the organization. I began my journey as a swing shift MRI technologist and have since advanced into a director-level role. Along the way, I’ve not only grown personally but have also had the privilege of mentoring others, watching colleagues advance in their own careers, and rediscovered my passion for this profession.
What began as an opportunity at Lumexa Imaging turned into a journey of growth, learning, and discovery. I'm thankful for a company that encouraged me to explore every corner of this profession, a path that has led me to my current role today as Director of Outpatient Clinical Operations for our Eastern Division.
