vRad’s Expanded Radiologist Education Platform Provides More Free Radiology CME

Since 2010, vRad has provided high-quality, free continuing medical education – but I’ve always thought that there was an opportunity to share more with the radiology community.

My background has allowed me to collect thousands of interesting cases, including many rare cases some radiologists may never have the chance to see in practice. This year we set out to share more cases than ever before by presenting this library of cases in a new interactive way, and on a new platform.

I’m pleased to announce that 2017 marks the release of the NEW! vRad Education Platform. This means:

All Those Licenses: 7 Myths That Stop Radiologists From Exploring Teleradiology

“I couldn’t believe it was so easy.”

It’s one of the most common things I hear from radiologists who’ve recently joined vRad when I meet with them in my role as medical director. In fact, many tell me they hesitated to explore vRad at all because they assumed the licensing and credentialing process for multiple states would be too long and complicated. Add in CME requirements and tax concerns, and it starts to feel like a logistical nightmare.

Here’s the most important takeaway: It’s not on you to take care of. vRad has an entire department dedicated to making the licensing and credentialing process as easy and seamless as possible for the radiologist. Plus, we cover all the costs up front.

Preventing Radiologist Burnout Is a Practice Responsibility

Ask yourself: what is your current practice doing to alleviate burnout? Are they investing in programs that support your professional and personal life?

I’ve read more radiologist burnout articles than I can count. Each is generally the same, concluding that burnout is a major problem, followed by a few ideas of what radiologists can do to help themselves.

This is not one of those articles.

This is an article about what radiology practices should be doing.
