Very informative video, thank you for taking the time to explain everything! I know you said its very possible, as you've done, to become a PACS admin with only IT experience. I have about 5 years of experience in the clinical aspect, and am looking to figure out a way to get the IT experience. Are there any type of entry level IT jobs or jobs that dont require experience and are on the job training? Just trying to figure out any way to get that IT experience without having any type of IT background. Thanks again for the info!
