Online via UofA Canvas January 4 - February 12, 2027 $300 + GST per course

About This Opportunity

This non-credit course series (three courses plus summative exam) focuses on the safe and appropriate usage of diagnostic imaging for the management of common musculoskeletal conditions seen in primary care settings.  More specifically, this course series will provide the knowledge and clinical decision-making skills required to effectively utilize conventional radiography, CT Scan, MRI and Diagnostic ultrasound. Emphasis is placed on using clinical practice guidelines to make appropriate, timely and judicious referrals for diagnostic imaging and how to use the Radiologist’s report to make appropriate patient care decisions. This course series does not focus on the interpretation and reading of images.
