LEVELS 1 & 2 FOR RADIOLOGISTS

Meet Your Level 2 ACR Guidelines in 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 and finish your Level 2 training via software anytime before 2010.

Our Level 1 & 2 program is a 3 day onsite training program that gives you:

  • 5 hours of didactics specific to Radiologists' training needs, including a review of cardiac anatomy and function (click here to watch a clip of one of these lectures), workstation buttonology and our systematic reading method for efficient and comprehensive CTA reads. We minimize learning CT physics and CT background by making those lectures optional.
  • 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 Radiologists:
  • 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, if you really want to come back for live training, that is an option as well.

  • You can review the DICOM for all 150 cases. You are not passively watching someone else review the cases.

  • In addition to our Level 3 instructor, we have two to three  Level 3 teaching assistants who roam the classroom to help you learn the workstation.

  • Cost: $9,000

THE FACTS

sq 8 of 10 radiologists   who come to our   program for Level 1   immediately choose   to continue on to   Level 2 at the   conclusion of the   course

sq Please see our   testimonials for   students'   experiences

sq 75% of all our   students have come   to our course   because a graduate   of our program   recommended it to   them

 Our Level 1 and   Level 2 are   competitively   priced

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.
