Hello Jennifer,
We have transitioned to having all our Tech positions tier positions. They are hired as a Tech 1, Tech 2 are our trainers, Lead Techs work on QA/ACR/Protocols etc.
For Mammo specifically it is a little different... Our Tech 2 position is for Diagnostics Mammo Technologist. Lead Mamo Techs do our training. If a Tech also performs Biopsy procedures, they get a Shift Dif. to account for that on top of their Tech 2 salary or Lead Tech salary.
We have had a lot of challenges with creating Tech 2 positions for special procedures/duties for years. The outline above has improved those issues, but it does limit our training so keep that in mind. I hope that helps.

Subject: Mammo Techs - Single or Tiered Position
We currently just have one level of mammo tech position but are evaluating moving to a tiered role likely with a level II position tied to performing procedures and potential diagnostic exams. I am curious if other outpatient imaging centers are offering a tiered rol, and if so what their tiers are and the job requirements at each level.
