James Pendergast

James shares how the Mentoring for Success program helped him navigate a new leadership role, prepare for the CRA exam, and build a lasting professional connection.

Reflecting on your Mentoring for Success relationship, what was the most impactful outcome?

"This may sound simple, but the most impactful outcome I’ve realized during the Mentoring for Success relationship is the fact I’m not alone in this leadership journey. It can feel extremely overwhelming being in a new leadership role and, for myself, a new organization within that role. As I worked through challenges with my mentor Brian Fox, my feelings of angst and nerves were put to ease."

What was an unexpected benefit of participating in this program?

"As I was preparing to sit for the CRA exam, the Financial Management Domain was the area I felt least confident in. Moving from a clinical space to a business space can be challenging for many imaging leaders, including myself. Fortunately, my mentor Brian Fox is well-versed in this domain and guided me through various fiscal concepts I struggled to understand. After completing the CRA exam, I was surprised to find that Financial Management was my highest-scoring domain. I’m proud of that and grateful for Brian’s guidance."

Would you recommend participation in the Mentoring for Success program to other AHRA members?

"I 100% support participation in the Mentoring for Success program. The benefits for both mentor and mentee are numerous. For example, whenever I have an operations question within Medical Imaging, I can reach out to Brian Fox and run the scenario by him — 99.9% of the time, he’s already dealt with something similar. His guidance helps me become a better leader and improve operations within my department. It also reinforces concepts he’s applied in his own career. This program directly aligns with AHRA’s mission to develop professional leadership in medical imaging management. The mentor/mentee relationship is mutualistic — both parties gain value they can apply in the field."
