MTMI, affiliated with The College of Health Care Profession, has launched a new online, self-paced initial mammography training course. The program offers comprehensive mammography training for those entering the field, providing flexibility and convenience without compromising quality.

Training Available in Three Formats

This accredited course meets ARRT Mammography and MQSA requirements, covering all mandated material with a focus on exam preparation. Available in three formats—in-person, live webinar, and online, self-paced—MTMI’s initial training accommodates diverse learning preferences. Students can start the course anytime upon registration and have a year to complete the program. The course includes interactive modules with instructor videos, learning games, and knowledge checkpoints.

“As a former clinic manager, I understand the challenges healthcare professionals face balancing their demanding schedules with cross-training and continuing education. Our [course] is thoughtfully designed to provide high-quality education that can be accessed anytime, anywhere,” says 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,” Lyman-Hagar adds.

Workforce Shortages Delay Mammograms

Mammography is vital for early detection of breast cancer, which accounts for 30% of new female cancers annually. Early detection improves survival rates. Healthcare workforce shortages have extended wait times for mammograms, creating barriers to early detection.

With a 98% pass rate for the board exam, MTMI’s mammography programs aim to ensure success 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,” says 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,” DeBastiani adds.
