Online CE Modules

AAMD's self-paced online CE Modules can be accessed at any time through the AAMD website. Members who select the Member-Plus program will find an access password stored in their member profile. Similar to the Directed Journal Readings, CE Modules will require the participant to take a short quiz after they have watched the 50-minute session. Module sessions may be watched as many times as the participant would like. Full abstracts and objectives each module can be viewed at http://medicaldosimetry.org/onlinececenter/modules.cfm.
