The final programme for the annual Management in Radiology (MIR) congress, to take place September 29 – 30, 2011 in Nice, France, has been published. A copy is available on the association’s website (www.mir-online.org). All Chairpersons, Heads of Departments and/or Imaging Sections, Business Managers, Senior Administrators and those concerned with aspects of healthcare economics, investment and workflow management such as healthcare IT, patient relations and cost-effectiveness, are invited to take part in this annual gathering of leaders in medical imaging.
Who Should Attend?
The congress will appeal not only to radiologists, but also to physicians and other healthcare workers in all medical disciplines, as well as to radiologic technologists, managers, nurses, informatics personnel and members of medical industry.
Scientific Programme
The scientific programme is designed to address the problems and challenges of modern healthcare. At this year’s edition, there will be lectures and debates on requesting imaging studies, coding and budgeting, standards of reporting, location and management, e-health monitoring issues, ultrasound management, managing acute imaging services, and solutions to problems in imaging education and research – all of them offering unique opportunities for audience participation and challenge and solution sharing, amongst a global network of other imaging leaders.
Junior Course
For the first time, the MIR Junior Course will be combined with the Annual Scientific Meeting giving residents the chance to receive expert coaching on how to be prepared for a consultant post. This special course – taking place just the day before the annual meeting, on September 28 – offers plenty of time for dialogue and questions.
Accreditation
The MIR Annual Scientific Meeting will be fully accredited by the European Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), an institution of Medical Specialists (UEMS), http://www.uems.net.
