Opportunity Description
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 does not focus on the interpretation and reading of images.

The course series includes three self-paced online courses and summative exam (EXFRM 2700, 2701, 2702 and 2704 summative exam). Each course is six to seven weeks in length. Course 1 is a prerequisite for courses 2 and 3.
