This echo tech skills checklist is the same form our recruiters use to figure out where you actually shine. It covers your patient care basics, your echocardiography views and Doppler modes, the special procedures side, and the age groups you’ve scanned. Takes maybe ten minutes, and there’s no wrong answer.
Here’s the honest reason we ask. Junxion was founded by a former traveler, and if you’ve traveled before, you already know what happens when an agency submits you off a resume keyword scan. You land in a lab expecting daily stress echoes when most of your background is portables, and everyone has a rough thirteen weeks. We’d rather know what you do every day before we ever pitch you a contract.
So be straight with us. Rate the skills you own, mark the ones you don’t, and let the checklist do the talking. Your answers go to a real recruiter who reads them, not a database that scores you and moves on.
What does this echo tech skills checklist cover?
Every item on this form comes straight from what hiring managers screen for. You’ll rate yourself on core Echocardiography skills like 2-D, M-Mode, and Color Doppler, plus the standard views (PLAX, PSAX, and the apical set). The Special Procedures section covers Bubble Studies, Treadmill Stress Echo, and TransEsophageal Echo. There’s also an Age Group Experience section that runs from neonates to 64+, and a quick pass on Clinical Settings like Acute Care and Portable work. For each skill you’ll pick a proficiency level, from Supervise/Teach down to None, along with how often you’ve done it.
What happens after you submit?
A real recruiter reads your checklist. Not a call center, not an auto-scorer. We look at where you’re strong, line that up against the echo contracts we have open, and only reach out about assignments that fit your actual skill set. If nothing matches right now, we’ll tell you that too, and your assessment stays on file for when the right lab opens up.

FAQ: Echo Tech Skills Checklist
Do I need to fill out a skills checklist before applying for travel echo tech jobs?
Yes, and it works in your favor. Facilities want proof a traveler can walk in and scan on day one, so nearly every agency collects a skills checklist before submitting you anywhere. Ours takes about ten minutes, and a real recruiter uses it to match you to contracts instead of guessing from your resume.
What if I've never done some of the skills on the echo tech checklist?
Mark them as None and keep moving. Nobody has done everything on this list, and rating yourself honestly is what keeps you out of assignments that would be a bad fit. If you’ve never run a TransEsophageal Echo or a pharmacological stress test, we simply won’t push you toward labs that lean on those daily. Honest answers protect you.
How is the proficiency scale scored on this skills assessment?
You pick one of four levels for each skill: Supervise/Teach, Experienced, Intermittent, or None, plus how often you’ve performed it, from Daily – Weekly down to Never/Observed Only. There’s no passing grade. The scale just shows your recruiter which contracts you’re ready for right now and which ones would be a stretch.
How much echo experience do I need before I can travel?
Most facilities want recent, hands-on scanning experience, and many prefer a couple of years in the modality before taking a traveler. Requirements vary by contract though, so don’t rule yourself out. Fill out the checklist, and if you’re close, your recruiter will tell you exactly what to build up first.
