In the latest episode of Medical Imaging Matters, AHRA Executive Director Jason Newmark talks with Shannon Health Assistant Director of Outpatient Imaging Melissa Ramos, CRA, about her career path from the radiology file room to initiating a leadership development program.

Ramos reflects on her early days in medical imaging, her transition into mammography, and the leadership roles she’s taken on over the years. She shares how mentorship, continuous learning, and professional involvement — including AHRA’s Leaders of Choice program — have shaped her approach to leadership.

The conversation also covers the leadership training program Ramos developed at Shannon Health, which has grown from a pilot group to a broader initiative supporting dozens of new leaders. She offers practical insights on building confidence, navigating imposter syndrome, and creating space for others to grow.

Editor’s note: Read more about Ramos’ work developing a leadership training program at Shannon Health in her article “Leaders of Choice Spotlight: How I’m Building a Leadership Training Program.”
