Abstract: Abstract Advancements in technology place medical dosimetrists at the forefront of many new processes, increasing the demand for these professionals. However, demand must be tempered by clear practice standards and licensure as errors made by a negligent or inadequately trained medical dosimetrist can result in patient harm. This case summarizes an effort to obtain such licensure in Massachusetts. While not yet accomplished, this study highlights the need for a strong vision to unite various constituencies in driving transformational change, the first step of any High Performance Organization (see Chapter 3 ). It also outlines how difficult it is to sustain support without continual reference to overall goals, and the celebration of “small wins.”
