Technology seminars will give the
information needed to pass the
physics registry exam. Physics 1 & 2
seminars cover all the basic
information and the needed CME’s
required for the physics registry exam.
The Physics Registry Review seminar
can be taken separately and includes
mock registry review questions &
exams. This seminar also provides
important test taking skills and
information and provides the 12 CME’s
needed for the ARDMS SPI exam. All
Seminars will be held at our Tulsa
Campus. Courses will include Course
review materials.
