About This Course
Radiology – Learn Online & Get Certification by The Royal College of Radiologists & HEE
The Radiology – Integrated Training Initiative (R-ITI) is a high-quality e-learning resource for radiologists around the globe.
You can choose from more 750 interactive sessions that cover all aspects of radiology. The programme offers ideal preparation for FRCR* and equivalent examinations. It is also suitable for fully qualified clinicians looking to reinforce or strengthen core knowledge.
Test your diagnostic skills with interactive exercises
This highly engaging content includes many interactive features, such as practical exercises and self-assessment questions, to reinforce your learning and understanding. Using interactive case studies, you can analyse written reports and enhance your skills in interpreting clinical information. You can also view numerous high-quality images (including X-rays), ultrasound video clips and 3D diagrams, which creates greater spatial awareness and realism than textbook learning.
There is also a separate pathway dedicated to clinical oncology (details in the course content section).
Suitable for healthcare professionals globally
This radiology course is available online so you can study at your own pace, in your own time. R-ITI has set a gold standard for e-learning in healthcare in the UK and it is now available to healthcare professional globally.
The programme has been developed in the UK by The Royal College of Radiologists and Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare.
R-ITI features 15 modules that are divided up into smaller e-learning sessions. Each session typically takes around 30 to 40 minutes to complete.
