In this episode of the Rad Tech Life Podcast, I sit down with Aimee Phillips, Program Director at Marietta Memorial Hospital School of Radiologic Technology. She shares her inspiring journey from technologist to educator and offers practical lessons every radiologic technologist and X-ray student can use.

We dive deep into the heart of patient care through the lens of communication in healthcare—covering verbal and nonverbal skills, cultural sensitivity, emotional intelligence, and strategies for working with patients of all ages and abilities.

Aimee also explains how empathy, humor, and even simple closing conversations can make patients feel respected, cared for, and confident in their care. Whether you’re a rad tech student preparing for clinicals, a new graduate entering the field, or a seasoned technologist looking to sharpen your patient interaction skills, this episode is packed with insight and encouragement.
