Helping people in different ways

However, in his main profession he is a radiological technologist. After his A-levels, he was interested in studying technical mathematics on the one hand and medicine on the other. He was advised against maths and the medical degree seemed too lengthy to him, because after completing a medical degree, you usually had to wait a few years before you could finally start your rotation. So, without further ado, he combined medicine and technology and trained as a radiological technologist. His additional desire to help people directly and immediately is covered by his 36-year commitment to the Red Cross, now as deputy district centre manager in Oberwart.

His professional experience in radiology technology began at the Vienna Meidling Trauma Centre, where he exclusively examined accident patients. This was followed by years at Güssing Hospital, where he was able to contribute his expertise in the field of computer tomography. His desire for further training grew and he enrolled on a part-time Master's degree programme in Healthcare Management at the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland (then FH Burgenland) - now called Health Promotion and Human Resources Management.

Even then, he was no stranger to adult education. At the Red Cross, he works in training and further education for paramedics and emergency paramedics. He taught radiation protection at the WIFI.

At the Burgenland University of Applied Sciences, he imparts his knowledge to students on the bachelor's degree programmes in healthcare and nursing as well as to trainee midwives. He will also be involved in the Bachelor's degree course in Radiology Technology, which starts for the first time in autumn 2025.

In addition to the rescue service, Markus Tuider also devotes his free time to air rescue, where he flies as a flight rescuer on the NAH Christophorus 16.
