PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS

Tammy Delker, President

In June Don Bishop, two student affiliates and I represented the

ISRT at the ASRT Educational Symposium & Annual Governance

& House of Delegates Meeting in Orlando. What a great experience

to learn and be a part of such a great group of radiologic

technologists that are passionate about our profession.

The conference began with recognition of the most active ASRT

chapter and ASRT members who have passed away since the last

annual governance meeting. We quickly moved into the business

sessions that covered many topics from affiliate information to

proposed practice standards revisions and advisory opinion

statements. Many discussions ensued over practice standards for

nuclear medicine technologists and entry level technologists moving

from an associate degree to a bachelor degree program. Details may

be found on the ASRT’s website.

In going forward with the ISRT, we have begun conducting business

as one entity as opposed to eight areas. The new members-at-large

will work with any group to approve continuing education. All you

need to do is go to www.isrt.org and click on the “continued

learning” tab and fill out the application to host a CE event. If you

ever have any questions, please feel free to contact one of the board

members for help.

6

Also, the ISRT in keeping with its goal of helping our profession to

thrive has a scholarship available to technologists and student

radiographers. Two $500scholarships are awarded each year; one to

a 2nd

year student and the other to a registered technologist enrolled

or accepted into an educational program. Scholarship applications

will be accepted until 2-1-18. All applications must be submitted to:

Mary Cowan

1461 560th St

Cherokee, IA 51012

We also have a new opportunity to achieve a new level of

recognition as a “Fellow of the Iowa Society of

Radiologic Technologists”. It is based on a points system and

includes many categories to meet the qualifications. More

information may be found on the ISRT’s website under the

“membership” tab and then the “Fellows Guideline and Application”

tab. This is a great opportunity for individuals who have spent many

endless hours representing and volunteering for their profession.

As always, we are looking for individuals to volunteer on many

levels and always looking for speakers for meetings. If you are

willing or know of someone who would be willing to present at a

meeting, let us know.

Thank you for all you do in caring for patients and producing quality

radiographs!

Tammy Delker, MS, RT(R)

ISRT President

We have had a few more people follow us on Twitter since I posted on Facebook about following us on Twitter. Each week I tweet a “tidbit from Tammy.” There has been a couple retweets and likes on the tidbits. In July, I plan to contact the Governor’s office and attain the proclamation for national radiologic technology week. Respectfully submitted, Amanda Meier RT(R) 2

meeting in June. I will send the newest revisions of bylaws to ASRT for

review by November 1, 2017. This should provide ASRT

parliamentarian time to review, make suggested additions / corrections

prior to February 1, 2018. Then we can notify proposed changes to

membership 30 days prior to annual meeting and vote on changes at the

2018 annual meeting. Current copies of bylaws will be distributed to all

Legislative Advisory- On May 10th, 2017 the Iowa State Board of

Health had their board meeting. The minutes to the meeting as of yesterday are not on line but I have attached the Intended Notice of Action which is on-line. This is the same information that has been discussed and shared about nuclear medicine technologist doing the CT part of PET/CT studies. We have 180 days to make any comments back to the IDPH. I did not see any changes from the first notices that were sent to us last year. Also attached is the Adopted rules for dental hand held devices that went into effect in May. Currently there are no bills listed for Iowa effecting Radiology, I unfortunately missed the May 3

rd phone call with the ASRT advisory

committee but attached are the minutes from that meeting as well as the meeting that I did attend on April 5

th. These minutes give you an

idea of the happenings in Region 5. My next meeting with the ASRT is June 7

th, at 2:00 p.m.

Also, I did volunteer to remain on with the ASRT CRTA as well for another year. I will also be helping with any updates for the ASRT MRI practice standards. Respectfully Submitted: Yvonne Grant

Webmaster- Hawkeye Static Editor- We’ve had 61 on-line

membership applications since January 1st.

After the April Annual Meeting, I did a search of usage on the

SwankHealthcare CE course site. I found that 13 people took courses above

the 6 free credits and did not pay in advance. So I sent them all an invoice

for the amount owed. Eleven people have settled their account within the 2

week deadline. Two are outstanding.

*I send everyone an invoice via e-mail with a 2 week deadline. The ones

that do not respond in 2 weeks, I mail their invoice. Those that have not

responded, two people, will be reported to the ARRT this next week.

Statistics:13 people

33 credits used without payment in advance

33 x $15/each= $480

I have recovered all but $60.

I have received several Graduating Student Membership applications

already to take advantage of the 1 year free membership.

To date, the 2017 class: 45.

37 are new members.

8 are returning members.

Deadline was June 1.

Please remember to forward your reports to me, in .doc, .docx, or excel so

they can get in the Hawkeye Static. isrtweb.editor12@gmail.com

PDF documents take too much time to convert or copy/paste with editing

done too.

The deadline for the next edition of the Hawkeye Static is: August 1st.

Historian Report- There was a historical display for the

Annual Meeting, April 7th and 8th, along with a short quiz for

attendees of the meeting. Small prizes were given to those

names drawn from the quizzes that were turned in. I think it is

look through the current historical items and help archive them

onto a flash drive or an external hard drive.
