Our course will incorporate the MQSA requirement of 8 hours of digital mammography throughout the 5 days. Hands on positioning workshops for those who attend the on-site programs will allow attendees the opportunity to work one on one with instructors and models to practice and learn the basic mammographic screening procedures. The week includes a registry review in an interactive and fun learning style.
This course has been approved by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) for 40 hours of Category A credit in initial mammography training requirements.This 40 credit activity provides the 16 hours of structured education related to the content specifications outlined by the ARRT, required for certification and registration.
Optional 6th Day - WEBINAR ONLY - Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Training
The FDA guidance states that personnel need only obtain training on one DBT system, or obtain general DBT training, to meet the new modality training requirement. However, since some features are unique to each DBT system, personnel are encouraged to pursue additional training on those features of their unit(s). Attendees staying for a 6th day of instruction will receive 8 hours of Category A credit in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis training also required by the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) before performing Digital Breast Tomsynthesis exams on Hologic Selenia Dimensions, GE SenoClaire, Siemens Mammomat Inspiration and Fujifilm Aspire Cristalle.

MTMI On-site COVID-19 Safety Policies and Procedures
As MTMI reopens our live courses at our headquarters in Milwaukee, WI, we want to emphasize that we care about the health of our students and instructors. That is why we are adhering to social distancing guidelines created by the state of Wisconsin and CDC.
Upon arrival at MTMI, you will see that there is a health self-assessment tool you can use before you enter the building.
Inside we have clearly labeled the social distancing rules for the elevator to ensure that only 2 people are in the elevator. If you would like to take the stairs, there are two stairwells located around the corners that will lead up to the 4th floor. Also, there are no-touch hand sanitizer dispensers available for you to use at your convenience.
We highly recommend you bring your own mask, however if you do not have one, we will provide one for your use on site. We also have sanitizing stations with disinfecting wipes, gloves and hand sanitizer located throughout the office and classrooms.
In our classrooms we have arranged it so that every table and chair is 6 feet apart. Every night we diligently disinfect the entire classroom area.
You are important to us, so we are doing our best to make this transition back to live courses as safe as possible. We hope to see you visiting us in Milwaukee very soon for upcoming courses this year.
