Radiographic interpretation continues to be very difficult for providers especially those who are new or changing roles. This live webinar will give attendees a strong introduction to the understanding and reading of chest X-rays as well as abdomen series. Multiple digital x-rays will be used to demonstrate normal vs abnormal variants. This discussion will be using primarily adult based radiographs.
Additionally, we are pleased to offer CE-accredited Partner Programs on the topics of Influenza, COVID, and migraine management, as well as a bonus session featuring highly sought-after Bayer IUD information and hands-on training. Earn 4.0 CE contact hours!
