Some states offer a clear path for limited X-ray licensure, while others make it nearly impossible, creating a difficult environment for Urgent Care operators trying to solve staffing shortages. Chris Nugent, Director of Radiology at PM Pediatric Care, joins the podcast to highlight this complex regulatory landscape.
