The live webinars are delivered in four separate modules, each two hours long, for a total of eight hours. The topics covered and the length of each topic is similar to the seminar TimeLine. Each module of the webinar provides 2 hours of Category A continuing education credit for radiologic technologists recognized by the ARRT. We recommend attendance at all sessions for a complete review of the topic. The webinar is completed in four Wednesdays, for a total of eight credits. Upon registration, participant will be given instructions to enter the webinar. You'll need an internet enabled computer in an environment where you can stay focussed for two hours. Come prepared with notebook and pen. It pays to sign in five minutes early. Questions can be submitted on line. Sessions begin promptly at 6:30PM Eastern Standard Time (New York). In English. Available globally
