Meet a Clinical Instructor:Donald Langley, RT(R)
June 2, 2015
Donald’s teaching technique varies based on the knowledge and willingness of the students to perform MRI scans. Donald explained, “I like to allow the students to do as much as possible; from setting up the exam, to performing the scan, then ending the procedure.” To Donald, having MRI students is a great hiring asset. Donald elaborated, “Most of our employees are graduates of Emory’s MRI program; it is a nice vetting process for employees because we work with them for four or five weeks and see their capability.” Donald also stressed the importance of passing knowledge to the students. He said, “In allowing the students to perform as much as possible, I can pass down my knowledge to them.”
Tracy Powell, a Nurse Practitioner at EUH, stated, “To me, Donald is an important part of this department. He truly is the glue of the (MRI) department. He is a very knowledgeable resource for everyone and every technologist; those coming in and those who are here. Donald is approachable and a team player. I have worked with Donald for four years and he is the “go-to” person. Donald is great with everyone; coworkers, patients, and others! He is a valuable employee to this department as a whole!”
