Abstract

To prevent over supplying of workforce with radiologic technologist license, effort to create new jobs related to radioactive from medical field and radiation-related academia should be put first. For this, investigating present condition is required by close analysis of working force supply related to radiation. Therefore in this research, basic data useful for developing future radiation-related policy and plan is provided from analysis of present supplying condition of radiologic technologists in Korea. Results are as following. First, number of people qualified as radiologic technologists consistently increased; 15,639 more people took the license in 2014 compared with 2004, showing growth rate of 75.6%. Second, about 65.7%, most of workforce related to radiation engaged in medical area. Third, estimating supply and demand of radiologic technologists by time period of 5 years from 2015 to 2040, about 6,000 number of surplus work force was predicted around 2020. Fourth, satisfaction of graduates who majored in radiology was quite low for their first occupation. These results implicate necessity of systemic supplementation which can expand medical areas where radiologic technologists can work.

방사선사 면허 취득자에 대한 공급과잉이 되는 현상을 예방하기 위해서는 방사선 관련 새로운 일자리를 창출하기 위한 방사선 관련 학계 및 의료계의 노력이 우선되어야겠다. 그러나 이와 함께 방사선 관련 인력 수급을 면밀하게 분석하여 현황을 파악하는 것도 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 방사선사 인력 수급현황을 분석함으로써, 향후 방사선 관련 정책 및 계획수립에 도움을 주는 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행되었다. 그 결과 다음을 알 수 있었다. 첫째, 방사선사 면허 취득자는 꾸준히 증가하여 2004년도 대비 2014년도의 면허취득자 증가 수는 15,639명으로 75.6% 정도 증가하였다. 둘째, 방사선 관련 종사자들의 취업분야는 의료관련 분야가 65.7%로 대부분을 차지한 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 2015년부터 매 5년 간격으로 하여 2030년까지의 방사선사 인력에 대한 공급과 수요를 추계해 보면 2020년경에는 거의 6,000명 정도의 잉여인력이 발생할 것으로 예측되었다. 넷째, 방사선학과 졸업생들의 첫 직장에 대한 만족도는 높지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이에 의료분야에 취업하는 방사선사들의 취업 병 의원 분야가 보다 확대될 수 있도록 제도적인 보완장치가 필요하다는 점 등이 제언사항으로 도출되었다.
