Description:
ARRT certification and/or a fully unrestricted state license are required for admission to the Mammography Initial Training course.
Training Option 2
In April, 1999, the final rules of the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) became effective that required entry level training for mammography including the performance of 25 patient procedures under the supervision of a qualified mammographer.
If your facility is unable to supervise the required 25 procedures to complete your training, or you are not currently employed, AHEC's Mammography Initial Training Option 2 can facilitate a clinical site in Houston, Texas. The two clinical days are scheduled after the classroom portion of the course is complete. There is no CE credit awarded for the two clinical days.
The curriculum for "Mammography Initial Training Option 2" will provide the technologist with all the required components of training as outlined by MQSA. The course includes: 24 hours of training on the core competencies as outlined by MQSA, 8 hours of Digital Mammography Modality Specific Training, and 8 hours of Tomosynthesis Modality Specific Training. You will be awarded 40 hours of Category A credit for the five day course. The course satisfies the ARRT requirements of 16 hours of structured education required to sit for the Post-Primary Mammography Certification Examination. This course meets the guidelines for states requiring special education for mammography.
Clinical placement is limited and is completed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Clinical days will begin Tuesday-Wednesday immediately following the five-course. Placement will continue in concurrent two day blocks after the Tuesday-Wednesday block is full. Clinical assignments occur during weekdays only. To secure clinical placement, AHEC must receive the registration, payment in full, and all required clinical placement paperwork. *An email will be sent once registration is received with a list of the required clinical placement paperwork.
For more specific topics, please view the course outline below. This practical approach to learning mammography is applicable to all technologists performing mammography.
Film Screen Modality Initial Training
AHEC's Mammography Initial Training curriculum DOES NOT include training in film screen. Attendees in need of 8 hour of film screen modality specific training MUST add the "Film Screen Modality Initial Training" video home study to your registration.
