As fall has hit us in full force and the holidays right around the corner we are busier than ever trying to wrap up 2015.  We have several new courses that we are working on with the hopes of having them submitted for an approval before the end of the year.  This newsletter will give you a small glimpse of what is to come and a reminder of the new courses that came out over the summer.  

We are currently working on a new basic positioning course.  We are hoping that it will be approved for at least 24 credits.  This course is based on Merrill’s Atlas of Radiographic Positioning & Procedures textbook.  It will make an excellent refresher course for the experienced technologists and will finally give our limited’s a full 24 credit CE course that is not based on a specialty modality.  We are planning for the course to be available around the beginning of 2016.  We will announce the release of the course via our email list, website, and social media so stay tuned.

All of the courses listed below were released over the summer.  Please click a course title to learn more information on the course or place an order today!

Unfortunately, today in the United States obesity has become and has continued to be an ongoing issue.  As technologist we have to image all types, sizes, and shapes of individuals.  Obesity has proven that it has it’s own special sets of challenges when trying to obtain an appropriate image.  We have carried a CE course of Imaging Obesity for quite some time now and would like to let you know that we have decided to completely revamp the course.  

Once submitted for approval we are hoping that it will receive a new course approval.  This means that if you have taken the previous Imaging Obesity course you will be able to take the new updated version.  We have received a lot of feedback from our customers regarding the older version of this course and plan to take all of those suggestions into consideration when creating the new version.  Stay tuned for the new updated version of this exciting new CE course.

The end of any month and especially the end of the year tend to be extremely busy for our office.  This is because as you know most license expiration dates for CE fall at the end of the month.  We deal with a lot of “last minute” test submissions and do our best to give you the best turn around time on receiving your CE completion certificate.

This is just a reminder to please try to give yourself enough time to submit your test and receive your certificate.  Unfortunately, things do happen every so often:  faxes not received, failure of tests, user error in the testing center, ect.  We do our best to prioritize at the end of the month as to whom expires first when grading but everyone that expires at the end of the month is graded on a first come first serve basis during our business hours M-F 9am-6pm EST.  

It is also important to remember that we date certificates based on Eastern Standard Time for those of you in other times zones submitting close to midnight.  For most of you that must wait until the last minute you may want to sign up to use our online testing center (there is no additional charge for this option).  You can log in and take your test and receive a downloadable/printable certificate immediately.  Testing center sign up requests do have to be fulfilled by our staff during our business hours so if you submit a request outside of business hours you will not get access to the testing center until the next business day.

With the end of the year so close and so many new courses in the works we have decided to let some of our older courses go.  Please check your emails for news of courses going on closeout/clearance sale.  If you think you have missed any you can always check out our Sales & Discounts page on our website.  We will be adding a few more closeout courses as we get closer to the end of the year.
