Educational Symposia – The 51st Annual Post Graduate Radiology Course – October 26-30, 2026

Details

This course is designed for board-certified radiologists in private or academic practice, trainees in diagnostic imaging, and other physicians seeking insight into the evolving role of imaging in patient care. Allied healthcare professionals interested in recent advances in radiology will also benefit from this course.

In addition, Wednesday’s program includes a dedicated sonography track designed for sonographers, ultrasound technologists, and allied imaging professionals. Sessions will focus on practical scanning techniques, clinical applications, and recent advances in ultrasound across vascular, abdominal, obstetric, thyroid, pediatric, and women’s imaging.

This course also includes four hours of radiation safety education designed to meet the continuing education requirements for physicians licensed in California.
