| Study Group Mentors |
Study group Mentors are experienced PACS professionals with several years of experience who assist new certificate candidates to study for the exams. This is a semi-formalized process whereby a study group participant follows a study guide on a weekly basis, discusses the subject matter and completes certain assignments. This process is more or less self-guided using the OTech Learning Management System (OTech-U).
