In Partnership with: Uvalde Memorial Hospital 

[UMH Logo]

Advanced Health Education Center is proud to partner with Uvalde Memorial Hospital to host this comprehensive imaging symposium. This sponsored event is designed for radiologic technologists and imaging professionals seeking to expand their clinical expertise across multiple specialties.

This unique program addresses high-impact topics in modern medical imaging, ranging from technical scanning adjustments for bariatric patients to specialized patient care for those with auditory, visual, or brain injury impairments. Attendees will gain practical insights into complex knee pathologies, infectious diseases, and the critical role of imaging in oncology and end-of-life care.

From EKG basics for the RT to the full spectrum of mammography consultations, this course equips you with the tools to improve both image quality and the patient experience.

Key Topics Include:

  • Patient Care: Strategies for imaging patients with sensory and cognitive impairments.

  • Bariatric Imaging: Overcoming the technical challenges of obesity in radiology.

  • Specialized Procedures: Comprehensive mammography consultations and basic EKG for the RT.

  • Pathology & Safety: Evaluating interesting knee pathologies, infectious diseases, and oncology cases.

Join us at Uvalde Memorial Hospital for this engaging day of professional development and expert-led instruction.
