MTMI has extensive experience in conducting intensive sh ort training courses. This course is designed to provide efficient tra ining in medical dosimetry with a rapid introduction to basic principl es and an emphasis on their practical application in the clinic.\n\nTh is program is a comprehensive 2-week training course with the curricul um modeled after the AAMD Medical Dosimetry Education Programs Guideli nes. The 2 weeks consist of 10 days of lecture and 2 days (Saturday an d Sunday) of hands-on treatment planning training in small groups on t reatment planning systems from various manufacturers in clinical sites around the Milwaukee area. Following the 2-week course it is recommen ded the trainee return to their facility to begin working in dosimetry under the supervision of a medical physicist or qualified dosimetrist . After 6 to 12 months of on-the-job experience the trainee could retu rn for an Advanced Dosimetry Training Course. This advanced course wil l review basic dosimetry techniques and provide a more thorough traini ng in complex radiation oncology treatment techniques.\n\nPrerequisite s for admission to the program includes certification as a RT(T) by th e ARRT and at least 1 year of clinical experience as a radiation thera pist or a BS degree in physics with some previous training on the basi c concepts and procedures of radiation oncology and radiation safety.\ n\nThe course is not specifically designed to serve as a review course for the MDCB registry examination. However, it would be an excellent review for an experienced dosimetrist needing formal training on the p rinciples of dosimetry in preparation for the board examination.\n\nTh is course provides 78.0 hours of Category A credit for Radiologic Tech nologists recognized by the ARRT and various licensure states.\nThis c ourse also provides 63.5 hours of continuing medical education credit for Certified Medical Dosimetrists recognized by the MDCB.\n\nA certif icate of attendance will be provided for each individual upon completi on of the course.\nAll attendees must attend the entire course to rece ive full credit.\n\nINSTRUCTORS:\nBowen, Culberson, Holley, Kreul-Busk erud, Slattery, Thomason, Howell\n\nCME HOURS: 78 hours Category A cre dit\n\nLECTURE TOPICS:\nBody Imaging\n\nACTIVITIES: not listed\n\nFor more information visit https://community.radrounds.com/events/medical- dosimetrist-course DTSTART:20090316T040000Z DTEND:20090328T035900Z CATEGORIES:medical, dosimetrist LOCATION:Waukesha, WI 53186 WEBSITE:http://radlist.com/meeting.asp?meeting_id=3933 URL:http://radlist.com/meeting.asp?meeting_id=3933 CONTACT:262-717-9797 ORGANIZER:MTMI ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg": ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="radRound s Radiology Events":https://community.radrounds.com/profile/radRoundsR adiologyEvents END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
