Our Sacramento course starts in…
This course is organised in collaboration with our partner Dr Amy Zalcman and our partners at The Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts.
The course is primarily aimed at physicians, radiologists, neurologists and technologists. The course features the same lecture-format as is presented in all of our other host countries and is therefore applicable to a multidisciplinary audience.
Since its first publication in 1992 our book MRI in Practice has been the recommended reading for anyone taking boards exams. This course is based on the book and will help you to grasp all of these important topics with ease.

Course Information
The MRI in Practice Course has been presented in the USA since 2000. Our first course in Sacramento was held in April 2019 and we hope to be returning in the not-too-distant future. To keep updated, please join our Facebook group to be informed of the future dates in this location.
This course is organised by our USA partner Dr. Amy Zalcman.
The content is primarily aimed at technologists who are taking boards exams, however we also welcome physicians, radiologists, cardiologists and neurologists. The course features the same lecture-format as is presented in all of our other host countries and is therefore applicable to a multidisciplinary audience.
The venue is
The Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts
8810 Cal Center Drive, 3rd Floor
Sacramento, CA 95826
The event is a condensed 2-day version of the course, presented by MRI in Practice authors Dr. Catherine Westbrook and Dr. John Talbot. Since its first publication in 1992 our book has been the recommended reading for anyone taking boards exams. This course is based on the book and will help you to grasp all of the basic MRI topics with ease. The new 5th edition has been completely redesigned to follow the course topics and combined with the high definition CGI graphics used in the course it will provide you with the best possible grounding for your registry examinations.
Dr. Westbrook and Dr. Talbot are both qualified educators holding MSc degrees in MRI and are both Doctors of (medical) education. As such, they are ideally placed to offer the best educational experience in magnetic resonance imaging.
The course typically attracts around 50-100 delegates, and usually sells out quite quickly, so early application is recommended. There is a discount delegate rate for early booking.
The registration fee includes all four days of teaching, plus a signed copy of the new 5th edition of MRI in Practice.
The fee does not include accommodation or lunches, however, there are many conveniently-located hotels and restaurants nearby.
