Prior to his career in education Brian Joachim was employed as a cardiovascular-interventional radiologic technologist, assisting with vascular and nonvascular interventional and therapeutic procedures, both emergent and non-emergent. He was an active participant in included, but not limited to, angioplasty (both cardiac and non-cardiac), stenting (both cardiac and non-cardiac), thrombolysis (both cardiac and non-cardiac), embolization, insertion of central venous access devices, insertion of inferior vena cava filters, biopsies and pain management procedures. As service to the profession of medical imaging, Joachim voluntarily serves as the Program Chairperson for the Wisconsin Association of Educators in Radiologic Technology (WAERT) Student Symposium that occurs yearly in April. It has provided Mr. Joachim the opportunity to network with his fellow Wisconsin educators along with the pleasure of interacting with individuals from across the U.S. that are highly respected in the radiologic sciences.
