Abstract: 

The Online Guided MRI Spine Spondyloarthropathies & Arthritis Mini Fellowship is a structured 30-day course aimed at enhancing your diagnostic confidence, enabling you to produce clear reports that garner respect from clinicians.

This course will address common abnormalities encountered in our professional reporting work, emphasizing the methodology of scan assessment, what specific elements to search for, where to focus your attention, and the best practices for reporting. Complex information is condensed into the key knowledge required to produce a confident report.

In contrast to most online courses where you are left to navigate the material independently, our approach involves active guidance and demonstration. We will show you how to examine scans effectively, provide guidance on how to articulate your findings, and address any questions you may have to ensure all doubts are clarified. It is our priority that by the end of this Mini Fellowship, you will have the confidence to generate accurate reports.

Key Learning points: 

  • Learn to Assess, diagnose and report confidently the common and less common abnormalities you will see in MRI of the Spine Spondyloarthropathies & Arthritis at work.

  • Practical learning where you can see and assess a scan just like you do at work and apply that to the scans you report at work.

  • Guided learning with the ability to ask questions if you are unsure or need clarification at any stage of the course. You can also see all the previous questions and answers asked by other registrants.

  • Learn the relevant radiological anatomy and macroscopic pathology which are essential to make the interpretation of imaging findings easier and to report more confidently.  

  • Remembering the information is as important as learning it. There are multiple quizzes and review cases throughout the Mini Fellowship that will help you assess your understanding and retention of the learning.

  • 30 web-based learning CPD/CME Hours by RANZCR. These CPD hours are recognized by most international licensing authorities. 

Additional Information

  • We use a combination of images, videos, text and most importantly full dicoms where you can see and assess a scan just like you do at work.

  • You can ask questions if you are unsure or need clarification at any stage of the course and Dr Ravi will reply to you. You can also see all the previous questions and answers asked by other registrants.

  • There are multiple quizzes and review cases throughout the Mini Fellowship that will help you assess your understanding and retention of the learning.

  • We make sure you understand the detailed and complex radiological anatomy of the Spine Spondyloarthropathies & Arthritis essential to an accurate diagnosis. We also cover the macroscopic pathology of abnormalities in all our Mini Fellowships, which most courses dont, but it makes understanding and reporting the imaging easier.

  • There is also a pre workshop sequence of videos that will help you to learn and retain more .

  • The focus of this course, like all our courses, is for you to be MORE CONFIDENT with your diagnosis, issue Clear Reports and to have your reports respected by the referring physician.
