This course is designed for physicians and other healthcare professionals performing fluoroscopically guided procedures that only need two hours of fluoroscopic radiation safety training to compliment prior training. The training is available on the AHEC’s website in two new narrated video presentations that total 2 hours CME. Physicians and other healthcare providers completing both parts of the course will receive a certificate of completion for 2 hours Category 1™ AMA PRA credit. This course is designed to enhance your understanding of the biologic effects of x-radiation from fluoroscopic equipment during interventional procedures for the protection of your patients. You will also learn the principles of dose reduction techniques for optimal management of x-ray exposure to the patient and other medical personnel.
