Why Certain Allied Disciplines Earn More
Some disciplines qualify for higher referral bonuses due to ongoing, high national demand.
Roles like CT, cath lab, nuclear medicine, and interventional radiology often fall into this category, making them both high-value referrals and high-impact placements.

✅ Think beyond your current assignment
Former coworkers, classmates, and past colleagues are all strong referral candidates.

A quick check-in like “Have you ever thought about travel?” can open the door.
