The Medical Technology Management Institute, (MTMI) headquartered in Waukesha, WI offers both initial training courses and continuing education courses for medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals. Initial training courses are designed for imaging professionals who want to expand their careers into a new modality. A radiologic technologist could come to an MTMI training course and walk out with enough knowledge to pass the specialty registry and start scanning patients.

Initial training and continuing education courses are offered in radiography, mammography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, imaging, bone densitometry, breast ultrasound, digital radiography, PACS and medical dosimetry. They all provide continuing education credits.

J. Ed Barnes, Ph.D., Executive Director at MTMI explains that individuals who complete MTMI training courses frequently utilize the certificate of completion they receive to show prospective employers they have taken the initiative to get training to qualify for a new position or promotion. "We can also assist individuals that have completed our training in finding jobs through our sister company Clarus Medical Staffing," says Barnes.

ReMedPar customers are cognizant of the foregone revenue associated with excessive downtime according to Oyakawa. As a result, the company has seen a significant increase in the interest surrounding its Technical Training Program. "An average facility could lose more than $67,000 in revenue per day by having just one inoperable CT System," says Oyakawa. That means it's highly beneficial to have the best training for those operating the equipment.

According to Kim Presley, Sales Operations Communications Leader at ReMedPar based in Goodlettsville, TN, "If you don't see what you need, we will customize a training program for you."

Although the CT program has been the most popular, with C-arm and portables classes a close second, their newly added ultrasound and additional X-ray offerings, like the Innova and the Integris courses, are quickly becoming favorites. Presley says that tuition for classes ranges from $2,000 to $10,000.
