Perceptions of required advanced skills.
BACKGROUND
An electronic survey was conducted to identify the most important nonclinical skills currently required of radiologic technologists to better prepare baccalaureate radiography graduates to meet workplace demands.


RESULTS
Survey results of American Healthcare Radiology Administrators (AHRA) members in the Midwestern United States indicate that skills pertaining to departmental systems and human resources administration are of greatest importance, regardless of geographic location.


CONCLUSIONS
An emphasis on medical informatics, diversity and health care communication would benefit both radiography graduates and radiology departments.
