About this Program

The emergence of the imaging informatics profession and the PACS administrator role is an answer to the complexity of the digital imaging environment. PACS (now called MIMPS by the FDA), management and healthcare informatics require specific knowledge and skills unique to this technology. This four-part series (2 hours each session) prepares students to sit for the Certified Imaging Informatics Professional (CIIP) certification exam.

Individuals who have current PACS knowledge will benefit most from attending this registry review. The instructor will follow the CIIP content specifications when presenting this material. It is recommended that you participate in the entire series to obtain the knowledge you will need to successfully pass the CIIP certification exam.


A printable download will be available to each registrant prior to the first session of the webinar. This will allow you to follow along with the presentation and make notes as you feel necessary.

This webinar will be presented in four 2-hour sessions. Tuition listed is per session.
