How do I handle being promoted away from the work I trained to do?

You trained your eyes to catch what a fast scan misses. Now you answer for how many scans get done. That trade feels like a loss, and it is fair to name it. The careful work was where you felt sure of your worth. But you did not lose the skill. You know what good scanning looks like better than anyone on your team. That is exactly why the department is yours to lead. Your care can now shape how everyone scans, not just your own hands. Try this: once a week, scan a patient yourself. Keep your eye sharp and remind your team what careful looks like. You do not have to choose between the craft and the role. You can carry a little of the craft into the role.
