The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) has granted its 2019 Award for Advocacy, with one award to the Nevada Society of Radiologic Technologists and the other to Missouri radiologic technologist Diane Hutton.
The Nevada Society of Radiologic Technologists has focused its efforts on education and communication in pursuit of a comprehensive radiologic technologist licensure bill for the state, according to the ASRT. Hutton, who is chairman of the Missouri Society of Radiologic Technologists' Legislative Action Committee, has been a driving force in support of education and certification standards for the state's medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals, the society said.
Since 2003, the ASRT has presented the Award for Advocacy to one affiliate society and one individual for outstanding public policy reform efforts performed on behalf of the radiologic technology community.
