The course is geared toward trainees, practicing radiologists, informaticists, and scientists in radiology and pathology, while also offering an opportunity to introduce non-radiology professionals to the field of imaging informatics.
Summary:
The National Imaging Informatics Course will return from March 17-21, 2025, offering a week-long online program for radiologists, pathologists, informaticists, and scientists interested in imaging informatics. Organized by RSNA, SIIM, and DPA, the course provides interactive learning through live lectures, small group discussions, and hands-on exercises, covering essential topics such as clinical workflow, AI, PACS, data science, and 3D printing. Participants can earn up to 20 SIIM IIP credits for certification and recertification. Early registration ends Feb 23, with discounted rates available for RSNA, SIIM, and DPA members. A scholarship program is also offered to support eligible trainees.

The National Imaging Informatics Course (NIIC) will return from March 17 to 21, 2025. The online course—a partnership between the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM), and the Digital Pathology Association (DPA)—is an accelerated, week-long online experience for imaging informaticists seeking to better leverage their expertise towards broader engagement within the field.
Led by an international faculty of imaging informatics experts, NIIC is designed to benefit all career levels and provides an affordable way to earn continuing education credits.
“What started as a small cohort of US-based radiology residents learning the fundamentals of imaging informatics has grown to an international educational experience for radiologists, pathologists, data scientists, and researchers at all levels,” says Tessa S. Cook, MD, PhD, who developed the course along with Nabile M. Safdar, MD, and Katherine Andriole, PhD.
Diving into Imaging Informatics
Geared toward trainees, practicing radiologists, informaticists, and scientists in radiology and pathology, NIIC also offers an opportunity to introduce non-radiology professionals to the field of imaging informatics. All attendees can gain key insights into how healthcare systems work.
NIIC’s curriculum offers relevant exercises across the imaging informatics spectrum that are essential to modern healthcare, including clinical workflow, business aspects, patient-centric radiology, hardware/software/networking requirements, standards, and PACS archives. The program also covers hot topics, such as AI, mission-learning, data science, and 3D printing.
NIIC offers a learning experience that includes small group discussions, live online lectures, on-demand content, assessments, and homework assignments. Successful participants receive a certificate and qualify for up to 20 hours of SIIM IIP Credits for ABII Certification and Recertification.
Early registration ends Feb 23. RSNA, SIIM, and DPA members are eligible to receive 10% off registration.
DPA, RSNA, and SIIM have established the NIIC Scholarship Program to assist residents, fellows, PhD candidates, and students who are not institutionally funded to attend the course.
