Leading Imaging Continuing Education Provider Launches Online, Self-Paced Initial Mammography Training Course

To meet the demand for trained mammography technologists, MTMI now offers an innovative, flexible course designed to fit into the busy schedules of working adults.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MTMI, a national leader in medical imaging continuing education affiliated with The College of Health Care Profession, is excited to announce the launch of its new Online, Self-Paced Initial Mammography Training course. This innovative program is designed to provide comprehensive mammography training to individuals seeking to enter the field, offering flexibility and convenience without compromising quality.

This accredited course meets the ARRT Mammography and MQSA requirements, covering all mandated material with a strong emphasis on exam preparation. Available in three formats—In-Person, Live Webinar, and (NEW) Online, Self-Paced—MTMI's initial training is tailored to meet diverse learning needs and preferences. Students will be able to start the course anytime upon registration and will have a year to complete the program. While self-directed, the course features interactive modules with expert instructor videos, learning games, and knowledge checkpoints to maximize retention and exam readiness.

"As a former Clinic Manager, I understand the challenges healthcare professionals face balancing their demanding schedules with cross-training and continuing education. Our Online, Self-Paced Initial Mammography Training course is thoughtfully designed to provide high-quality education that can be accessed anytime, anywhere," said Miranda Lyman-Hagar, Director of Women's Imaging at MTMI. "The flexibility of choosing from in-person, live webinar, and online self-paced formats ensures that every learner can find a method that suits their lifestyle and learning preferences. This program not only meets but exceeds the industry standards, preparing our students to excel in their careers and make a significant impact in the field of mammography."

Mammography is essential to the early detection of breast cancer, which accounts for 30% of all new female cancers each year. When breast cancer is detected early, and is in the localized stage, the 5-year survival rate is 99%. Healthcare workforce shortages have lengthened the time between when a patient needs a mammogram and can schedule an appointment, creating barriers to early cancer detection.

With a 98% pass rate for the Board exam, MTMI's Mammography Programs are designed to ensure success and excellence in mammography. "I have seen firsthand the critical need for comprehensive and flexible training programs in medical imaging. The launch of our Online, Self-Paced Initial Mammography Training course reflects our commitment to providing exceptional education tailored to the needs of today's imaging professionals," said Brenda DeBastiani, the President of MTMI. "This innovative program combines interactive modules, expert-led videos, and engaging learning tools to create an unparalleled learning experience. By offering multiple formats, we empower our students to choose the path that best fits their needs, ensuring they receive the best possible preparation for their certification and future careers in mammography."
