Whether you're navigating the realm of emergency radiology interpretations for the first time, contemplating a career shift, or just seeking to refine your existing skills in emergency radiology readings, you're not alone. Emergency radiology is one of the top three specialties, witnessing a hiring surge in 2022, according to the 2021 /RBMA Workforce survey. The dynamic nature of roles and responsibilities in this field underlines the importance of possessing a well-rounded repertoire of diagnostic skills.

This intensive three-day course will bolster your knowledge and acclimate you to the latest methodologies in emergency radiology. The course aims to instill the confidence needed to effectively interact with clinical teams and manage traumatic and non-traumatic ER presentations.

Using a practical approach with hands-on experience provided via the proprietary  Case Engine at a dedicated workstation, you’ll explore imaging interpretations for over 300 emergency scenarios, covering the most common conditions ranging from dissected aortas and multiple traumas to subdural hematomas and radial fractures. These case studies mirror real-life scenarios frequently present in the ER, enabling you to bridge theory with better practice.

Esteemed faculty will lead formal lectures on fundamental concepts, emphasizing key insights and potential challenges to help you navigate the complex landscape of emergency radiology. In addition, dedicated case interpretation sessions will provide an environment to refine your expertise and gain confidence in emergency imaging interpretation.

With a favorable faculty-to-learner ratio, our course promises a personalized learning experience,facilitating in-depth discussions with faculty and peers. You’ll be prepared for real-world scenarios in emergency radiology with insights that extend beyond textbooks.

  6. Learn fundamental imaging aspects of non-traumatic neurological, and head and neck emergencies
  7. Review common and uncommon fractures of the upper extremities, lower extremities, and pelvis and spine, with emphasis on the “easily missed” fracture

What Your Colleagues Are Saying


Enjoyed interacting with the well-qualified, easy going, and very accessible faculty from all three subspecialties: Musculoskeletal, Neuroradiology and Body Imaging.

This was my third course!  I like the "hands on" approach. The instructors are always fantastic and very personable. Great learning atmosphere. You are able to work at your own pace.

Really cannot say enough positive about the course. The faculty were outstanding and friendly. Cases covered a wide range of material and clinical scenarios. Workstation setup and support was excellent.
