Incredible lecture series, and truthfully one of the most rewarding academic experiences in my adult life. The graphics are as astounding as the ease at which Dr. Talbot and Dr. Westbrook navigate the physics of MRI.
Truly brilliant! Thank you. (Chicago participant 2019)
COVID 19
All of the courses we organise ourselves (North America, Europe, Middle East and Australasia) are now exclusively presented online and will continue to be online for the foreseeable future. We will not be organising any live face-to-face courses until at least 2022 and only then if the pandemic is fully under control.
For COVID information about currently scheduled live courses, please contact the relevant organiser.
Elekta
We are a preferred education provider for Elekta. Please contact your Elekta representative for more details.
I would like to organise a course with you
We are happy to collaborate with local organisers in any country, please send an email to ObscureMyEmail and we will get back to you with our terms.
Philips Medical Systems
We are a preferred education provider for Philips. Please contact your Philips representative for more details.
Radiation Oncologists and Radiation Therapists
We welcome radiation oncologists and radiation therapists and we are a preferred education provider for Elekta and Philips Medical Systems. Please feel free to apply for any of our courses, or speak to your local Elekta or Philips representative.
Veterinary Radiologists and Radiographers
We welcome veterinary radiologists and radiographers and have a long-standing track record of teaching MRI to these disciplines. We have been running the MRI in Practice course exclusively for veterinary radiologists and radiographers since 2017. These courses are presented in collaboration with veterinary MRI radiologist Amy Zalcman, formerly at the University of Missouri and now on-line. Feedback shows that veterinary practitioners find this course extremely beneficial. Our course is now the go-to MRI course for veterinary practitioners in the USA and the UK. We also attract a large number of veterinary practitioners on our annual Sydney course in Australia.
Who would benefit from this course? For whom is it intended?
Primarily, MRI in Practice is intended to be a continuing professional development (CPD) course for medical imaging practitioners working in the field (or intending to work in the field) of MRI. We welcome radiographers, technologists, radiologists, radiation therapists, radiation oncologists, veterinary practitioners, veterinary radiographers, physicists, researchers and any other discipline that needs to understand MRI.
Will this course (does this course) make me a qualified MRI practitioner (permit me to work as an MRI practitioner)
We receive quite a few emails asking if this course will make someone a fully qualified MRI practitioner. This is not the case. If you wish to practice medical imaging, you first need to take an undergraduate degree in that field. This course is primarily a continuing professional development course for those already qualified in medical imaging.

How much does it cost to attend the MRI in Practice Course?
There cannot be a set price for all courses because the pricing will be determined by:
The online course may be accessed from the following locations. If you live in a location that is not listed please contact ObscureMyEmail for more info.
The online course uses a combination of HD streaming video to present our trademark CGI graphics and user-friendly analogies that give our course an unsurpassed conceptual clarity that our participants really love. Our lectures use computer-generated imagery produced in-house and are the result of 13 years development and over 1000 CGI models and animations.
Some online course providers present their lectures directly from Zoom or by screen-sharing their own computer - this tends to result in a sub-optimal, jerky, low-resolution presentation with occasional dropouts due to loss of internet connection by the host and having to share bandwidth between a number of participants.
We don't do this, as teaching experts with over 30 years of experience in distance learning and blended learning (and, with formal academic qualifications in technology-enhanced learning) we use a blend of live face-to-face live sessions in Zoom and streaming HD video that is delivered via a professional broadcast server (AWS) to ensure the very highest quality and uninterrupted service , here is an example of what you can expect from our lectures…
Please feel free to share this video with anyone you think might be interested. There is a share icon at the top right corner of the screen when you hover your cursor over the window.
If you are trying to choose between learning providers, we recommend that you ask any other provider for certificated evidence of their teaching qualifications and an example of their teaching materials to compare with our presentation above. There are some "learning companies" out there who are not qualified in learning and teaching - and may even call themselves "clinical specialists" without holding post-graduate masters or doctorate qualifications in their supposed field of "clinical expertise". We think this is extremely unethical for obvious reasons - please don't get caught out!
Our new online course has now been up-and-running for 6 months and has attracted over 200 international participants.
But is it working as anticipated? Do people like it? Has the concept of the "new normal" been fully realised?
I thought I would make this blog-post to tell you all what has been happening recently with the MRI in Practice course, and also give any MRI educators out there the benefit of our experience in producing a new online course.
