ABOUT THE DVD CME PACK
Educational Symposia is constantly exploring ways to better serve our customers. Subscribers of our DVD CME teaching programs asked for a simpler way to share a DVD Teaching Program. We listened and are excited to introduce the DVD CME Pack.
Here's how it works. Purchase the original DVD teaching program then order as many DVD CME Packs as needed at a significantly reduced price. It really is that simple!
Educational Symposia's innovative DVD CME Packs allow each participating physician to own his/her set of DVDs. Having their own set provides the opportunity to view at their convenience and add to their personal reference library. DVD CME Packs are priced to make it a practical alternative to "waiting in line" to receive the next DVD.
Each DVD CME Pack contains:
-
An entire set of DVDs in a convenient case designed for durability and ease of access
-
One CME application and test
-
A one or two volume syllabus (depending on the series). Syllabus is included in the purchase price but is not enclosed in the DVD CME case.
See order form to order a DVD CME Pack for this series. To order a DVD CME Pack for a previously purchased DVD teaching program, visit us online at www.edusymp.com, call toll free (800) 338-5901.
Multiple CME Subscribers...
Educational Symposia DVD Teaching Programs are accredited for AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM for three years from the original release date. Once the initial order is placed, the number of CME applications and/or DVD CME Packs that can be ordered is limitless. Simply call (800) 338-5901 or access our website at www.edusymp.com and reference the name of the person or facility of the originating order. See order form for pricing.

ABOUT THIS DVD TEACHING PROGRAM
This DVD CME activity is a practical teaching course for those who order, perform or interpret magnetic resonance imaging studies. The DVD series is organized in such a way to allow subscribers to purchase the entire series, subsections or individual programs. Three focused subsections provide a comprehensive yet practical review and update on the clinical applications of MRI. The series begins by focusing on the head and spine, moves into the musculoskeletal system and concludes with cardiovascular and body applications.
A special non-accredited bonus program focuses on equipment comparisons and capabilities. Those subscribers planning to purchase MRI equipment should find this program particularly valuable as companies discuss their present capabilities and their plans for the future. The special bonus program, along with a comprehensive two-volume syllabus, is included at no additional charge with the purchase of the entire series or a subset.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This CME activity is primarily intended and designed to educate diagnostic imaging physicians who supervise and interpret MRI/MRA studies. It should also be useful for referring physicians who order these studies so that they might gain a greater appreciation of the strengths and limitations of clinically relevant MRI exams.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
