Diagnostic Imaging Program
Our year-long Diagnostic Imaging DE course has been broken down into 3 manageable and independent parts: Thoracic, Musculoskeletal and Abdominal Imaging.
Each is a discrete unit on its own but together they form a formidable imaging educational program. Each unit has an interactive workshop – a major drawcard – where you have the opportunity to apply the theory you have learnt under the watchful eye of your tutor. You also benefit from the group experience of learning with, and from, your peers.
The introductory imaging module is a prerequisite for each unit; this needs to be completed only once, prior to studying your first unit. If you enrol in all 3 units, the whole program comprises 10 modules.
