User Services Application Training 2016 Knowledge means staying ahead siemens.com/healthcare-training-center Our Training Courses Classroom Training Classroom training sessions generally take place at our Training Centers. Theoretical principles of imaging are supplemented by a wide range of practical exercises on the most recent systems, giving learners the opportunity to gain skills for day-to-day clinical work. Clinical Workshop Clinical workshops are training programs which last one to several days and specifically focus on clinical issues. They include lectures given by clinical experts, live examinations, and, in many cases, practical exercises. Training Overview Fellowship Program Participants accompany clinical experts on their daily rounds in a specialist unit, observe examinations and diagnostic procedures, and expand their skills through direct interaction with mentors. E-Learning E-Learning content is available on CD-ROMs, as web-based training, and in live virtual classrooms. You receive interactive application training in which system operation is clearly presented. Most e-Learning courses conclude with a certification exam. Credit Points CME Credits CME CREDITS Several of our training courses have been submitted to the Bavarian Medical Association for approval of credits in category C.

Dr. Patrick Amarteifio It will be our pleasure to welcome you at one of our training programs. Siemens Healthcare GmbH Customer Services Vice President Training Dr. Patrick Amarteifio Training Overview Know-how in Theory and Practice Our global training concept offers participants learning opportunities throughout the world on the newest systems at state-of-the-art training centers in Germany, USA and China. Participants can attend hands-on courses with colleagues covering the maintenance and operation of medical systems and applications, without the distractions of daily clinical routine. Tailored e-Learning courseware optimally supplements our instructor-led courses. Many courses take place at the Imaging Science Institute (ISI) Erlangen, Germany. The ISI Erlangen is a cooperative project of the University Hospital Erlangen and Siemens Healthcare. The exceptionally close cooperation facilitates practical training in real clinical surroundings, as the ISI is located right at the University Hospital Erlangen. The course participants attend block courses in routinely operated radiological examination rooms with experienced doctors acting as trainers. Participants benefit from the comprehensive clinical and technical experience of the University Hospital Erlangen. Imaging Science Institute Universitätsklinik Erlangen Ulmenweg 18 91054 Erlangen, Germany 2 Training Overview On the following pages you will find a complete listing of classroom courses and clinical workshops. From “Angiography” to “Ultrasound”, our courses give users system, application and technology training that combines theoretical principles with handson exercises in a one-day to five-day course format. You can extend your skills and gain new knowledge by working on course content closely with your peers.
