New Diagnostic Imaging Blended Learning Programme Launched by Improve International

We are delighted to launch a new blended learning programme, bringing together ultrasonography, radiology and CT/MRI, to create a comprehensive diagnostic imaging training programme.

In 14 varied modules, 6 online and 8 face to face, delivered over 11 months, the programme will cover the fundamental principles of the different imaging modalities, giving a thorough overview of their application and benefits. Abby Caine VetMB BA CertVDI DipECVDI MRCVS is the Course Director for the programme which commences in September 2022.

The online modules consist of 4 sessions spread over 1 month, comprising video lessons and case-based studies for learners to work through at their own pace. A monthly live webinar will provide further opportunity for case discussion and film reading sessions with the specialist tutor. The face to face sessions are conducted over 2 consecutive days and will be highly practical to support learners in consolidating their knowledge and developing skills in ultrasound.

As with all our online learning programmes, modules are delivered using a range of high-quality learning techniques, including interactive video lessons created by online learning experts. Lessons are supported by notes and videos, quizzes and a forum tutored by leading specialists, all hosted on a world-leading online learning management platform.

The programme offers a route to achieve an ISVPS General Practitioner Certificate (GPCert), accredited and awarded by the International School of Veterinary Postgraduate Studies. It also offers a route to a Postgraduate Certificate (PgC) through the company’s partnership with Harper Adams University. Programme registration includes a subscription to the RCVS Knowledge Library, which includes access to many electronic resources, including the latest journals and clinical research.

Commenting on the launch of the programme, Head of Business Development at Improve International in the UK, Dr Charlotte French, said: “The successful completion of this programme will increase learners’ skills, knowledge and confidence in dealing with more imaging cases, which will, in turn, enable them to grow their small animal caseload and revenue stream.  With imaging so often a key element of a successful diagnosis, we are seeing increased interest from veterinary surgeons in upskilling in this fast-moving area and are delighted to offer them the opportunity to do this with our new programme.”
