3 The Annual Conference Tradition meets innovation in 2017! For over 75 years, the CSRT annual conference and other educa9onal programs have enriched the educa9onal development of medical imaging professionals and students in California and beyond. All radiologic technologists must earn 24 Category A/A+ con9nuing educa9on (CE) credits every two years to maintain their license. CSRT programs remain a premier source for receiving this vital CE. Star@ng in 2016, we took the annual conference to the next level and went VIRTUAL. The virtual pla[orm provides a very interac9ve experience for par9cipants with on-demand educa9onal sessions, discussion forums, live chats with presenters, student scholarship compe99ons, a virtual exhibit hall, and so much more. In addi9on, busy professionals and students will have the convenience and flexibility to access the conference on their own 9me from anywhere -- for the full month of November. The conference is all about spreading ideas in the form of powerful presenta9ons by our dis9nguished speakers! We hope that the virtual pla[orm will bring the radiologic community together from every discipline and culture that seek a deeper understanding of our profession and of its innova9ons and improvements to technology and pa9ent care. The CSRT board believes passionately in the power of ideas, and to share best prac9ces to improve pa9ent care. Thank you to the sponsors of last year s Virtual Annual Conference: 2
