The contents of the Learning Center, such as text, graphics, images and other materials are for informational purposes and continuing education only. The content is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
The Learning Center was launched in 1999 to meet growing customer demand for continuing education in an online environment and it has evolved tremendously since its inception. Combining an easy-to-use platform with world-class educational materials developed by leading subject-matter experts in radiology, cardiology, sonography, nursing, management and education, the Learning Center is an invaluable resource for medical professionals to maintain certification and grow their careers.
With over 150,000 registered users of the Learning Center, it plays an important role in educating allied health professionals such as technologists, nurses, and sonographers, and other medical professionals meet their continuing education requirements. These professionals face challenges in keeping up-to-date with strict, continuing education requirements and this is where the Learning Center plays a critical role.
The Learning Center is now ‘Sharable Content Object Reference Model’ or ‘SCORM’ compliant. This widely accepted distance-learning standard means any third party SCORM compatible learning module can easily be plugged into the Learning Center. Now authors and subject matter experts can use any third-party SCORM authoring program to create their course and then, using a simple upload feature, transfer their course to the Learning Center LMS (Learning Management System) for content delivery, testing, and tracking. This has allowed the Learning Center to increase course publication dramatically.
The Learning Center offers more than 300 self-directed learning activities accredited by various recognized continuing education evaluation mechanisms (RCEEMSs) for radiologic technologists, sonographers, nurses and other allied health professionals. Courses available on the Learning Center cover clinical and department topics important to the medical community, such as anatomy, physiology, cardiology, vascular imaging, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), patient monitoring and business-oriented subjects.
The Learning Center is a simple, cost-effective way for medical professionals to obtain mandatory continuing education credits in order to maintain their certification. It can accommodate different learning styles by offering various educational vehicles, including self-directed courses, webcasts and archived lectures, disease-specific case studies, multimedia tutorials, offline study via CD-ROM, and quizzes designed to facilitate learning and retention.
With content focused on clinical applications, management, concepts and principles using different modalities, there are educational materials available for all users, regardless of their clinical focus, their role in the department or the equipment they use.
