WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Any radiologic technologist who is looking to meet the requirements set forth by the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) for initial training in mammography. Our comprehensive initial mammography training program is approved by American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) and will satisfy 29 of the required 40 Category A credit hours needed to fulfill the initial training in mammography requirements set forth for a radiologic technologist. With the exception of California, all radiologist technologists will receive 12.5 credits toward the 40 required by performing 25 supervised mammograms in the presence of a qualified mammographer. Therefore, you will meet the MQSA training requirements for mammography by attending our course and performing 25 supervised mammograms.
If you are from California and need all 40 continuing education hours in order to take the California Mammography Registry, we can provide the additional 11 hours in take home studies in addition to the 29 hour course to bring your total credits to 40.
