State Societies Hold Annual Meetings
Every radiologic science professional is working hard to earn mandatory continuing education credits. No time is better than the present to plan on attending your local state society meetings to meet your local colleagues and earn credits at the same time. Attendance is expected to be stronger than ever for the state society meetings this year.
With this in mind, ADVANCE offers this list of state meetings to help you plan ahead and make it as easy as possible to earn some of those CE credits. For more information about a particular meeting or to reserve your place at one or more of them, give a call to the contact person listed with each meeting or look for information on the Internet for the homepages of some societies.
