Professional Development

CME credits are not available for physicians this year; however, the course curriculum is rigorous and provides excellent preparation for cardiovascular computed tomography portions of board exams.

We are pleased to offer technologist attendees the opportunity to receive continuing education (CE) credit from the American Society of Radiology Technologists.
