The Certificate of Endorsement states that this course supports the following important outcomes:
01. Practical skills
02. Knowledge base
03. Work safely
06. Manage knowledge/information
07. High-quality healthcare/education services
08. Patient-centred care and choice
09. Inter-professional/agency working or learning

19. Evidence to support practice
If you are considering registering for an MRI course other than MRI in Practice, ask for evidence that they have CPD NOW endorsement and check how many of the above outcomes are supported. This is an important benchmark and without such it is likely that a course is not fit for purpose as a CPD resource. Please note that we have outcome 7 - which is your assurance of the high-quality of our courses.
Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy award 30 Units of CPD for the course.
