CIIP Study Guide

Healthcare Imaging (PACS) Track

Product code: SP-146

The Healthcare Imaging and Informatics Symposium has two simultaneous tracks, i.e. a Healthcare Imaging (PACS) and a Healthcare Standards (DICOM/HL7/IHE) track. In case you have acquired basic knowledge through experience or prior training, you can skip the first two days for each track and/or cross over to the other track.

The Healthcare Imaging (PACS) Track begins with a two day PACS Certification training that teaches you the basic skills to become a PACS certified professional (PARCA - CPAS), followed by an advanced one day PACS training and a two day PACS project management course.

Your Instructor
