Our Fluoroscopy CME courses for satisfying Maryland fluoroscopy regulations work!
A study published in Academic Radiology showed that patient dose decreased after radiology residents took our Advanced Training Program. More details are available here.

Testimonials from Physicians in MD
At FluoroSafety we review CME evaluation comments on a monthly basis to improve our courses. Here are examples of unedited remarks by physicians who have completed this training program.
From a Pulmonologist in MD:
“I took this to meet a requirement – I was pleasantly surprised about how much I learned.”
In addition, 1 hour of continuing training is required every 24 months after initial training. Completion of our Basic Training Program meets all of the Maryland requirements for initial fluoroscopy training. Our course Annual Training for Individuals Who Use Fluoroscopic Equipment is an ideal refresher to meet the Maryland two year continuing education requirement.
Both courses provide physicians with AMA PRA Category 1 CME Credit™ and may also serve as self assessment CME (SA-CME), as required for Maintenance of Certification (MOC) by members of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).
