This is a 3-day event designed to assist Board Eligible Diagnostic Imaging residents in preparing for their Certifying exam. This program is case-based and delivered in a method intended to emulate an exam setting, including extensive blocks of time designated for independent focused case work. Our event this year is a blended event: a unique mix of in-person and virtual attendance. We will host concurrent live and virtual sessions with our instructors.

COVID safety protocols will be in place based on local, state, federal, and IDEXX requirements. Updated requirements will be communicated to participants as necessary.

Event Location:

In person: IDEXX Telemedicine Headquarters

9200 SE Sunnybrook Blvd, Suite 460

Clackamas, OR 97015

Online: If this method of attendance suits your needs, please join us virtually.

Who can attend?

Senior diagnostic imaging residents, who have recently completed or will soon complete their residency program and are preparing to sit for their Certifying exam. We welcome back those who may have attended a previous event to continue supporting their goal of board certification.

What tools do you need to attend?

In person attendance: You will bring your laptop with you to this event and will have the opportunity to work in a personal workstation, and connect to external monitors.

Virtual attendance: A computer, internet and a quiet place to work. A webcam is preferable as we’d like to connect with you online during the case review sessions.

What will happen each day:

You will be provided with the case materials the day before the start of the event.

You will attend brief introduction meetings at the start of each day.

Afterward, you will begin to write reports on the cases provided in each section on your own. After each independent section, the class will be divided into break-out groups to discuss the cases with each other, facilitated by an instructor. This will give you the opportunity to learn from each other in an exciting, collaborative, supportive environment.

Virtual attendees will receive unique meeting invitations to join each day’s sessions.

Additional sessions on Day 3:

On day 3, we will host a “Stump the Instructor” interpretation session. We will ask for one case from each attendee to be submitted in advance of the event. Our committee will pick several cases from the submission and ask the instructors to interpret the cases in our final group session.

The event will close on Sunday with a 30-minute live Q & A session.
