 LEVELS 1 & 2 FOR CARDIOLOGISTS |
|
Meet Your Level 2 ACC Guidelines with 3 Days of Onsite Training:
Total Training time = 64 hrs
(1 day of didactics + 3 days onsite + 32 hrs of self study software or live training) |
Why attend a Level 1 program that requires you to return for more in-person training to reach Level 2?
Minimize your time out of the clinic by attending our 3 day program with the option of continuing your Level 2 training via software anytime before 2010.
Our Level 1 program is a 3 day onsite training program that gives you:
- 5 hours of didactics specific to cardiologists' training needs, CT physics and image acquisition, workstation buttonology and our systematic reading method for efficient and comprehensive CTA reads
- 3 days of hands on training
- 150 cases with a mentored review
- 50 live cases
- 1 to 1 student to workstation ratio (significance)
Highlights of the 3 Day Level 1 & 2 for Cardiologists:
- You can easily complete your ACC Level 2 without taking additional time out of the clinic by using our CTA Mentor Self-Study Software. Alternatively, you may come back for training in person (finisher course) if you wish
- You can review the DICOM for all 150 cases. You will not be passively watching someone else review the cases
- We are an independent training center- we focus on teaching the technology, not selling the technology
- In addition to our Level 3 instructor, we have Level 3 teaching assistants who roam the classroom to help you learn the workstation
- Cost: $9,000
- Our Level 1 and Level 2 are competitively priced
- See our up-to-date schedule for course dates

Significance of 1-to-1 Student to Workstation Ratio
|
1-to-1 student to workstation ratio is critical for learning CTA. Learning the necessary hand/eye coordination is virtually impossible when sharing a workstation. We have had several students who have attended another Level 1 class where they had to share a workstation with another student. We have observed that these students are at a marked disadvantage compared to students who have had only 1 day of training in our course working alone on our workstation.
The question to ask yourself:
Why spend 2-3 days out of clinic, pay to use a shared workstation, and get no live cases when I can simply attend a 3 day course, learn a systematic reading method on my own workstation?
Once you have completed our 3 day course, you never have to return for more training if you want to use our self-study software to finish your Level 2 training.
