“This was an amazing course that greatly exceeded all my expectations! The instructors are very thorough and care about each individual in the class granting special attention to any and all that need it. The program set-up makes all students feel comfortable inside as well as outside the classroom making it a fun experience even for those who traveled alone. Class participation and sufficient breaks keep your mind focused and refreshed. The relaxed learning environment personally helped me to retain information better. My favorite, and probably most important, aspect of the program was the genuine passion for mammography the instructors try to instill in each student and the huge difference we can make in the lives of patients, their family, and friends. I highly recommend this to anyone who even has the slightest interest in mammography. I feel this course has swayed my future (for the better) and I can't wait to further my career in this field!”

“If I could describe how much I enjoyed the experience here learning about mammography, I would create two words: ‘FANTASTICAL’ and ‘AWESOMENESS’!!
Kathy and Shelly are the most caring, sweetest instructors you will ever meet! I really appreciate the positioning workshop I had with Shelly. She was extremely thorough and helpful! Kathy was always making sure everybody’s needs were taken care of including snacks, activities for anyone who was alone and great detailed information on where to go and what to eat during your stay.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect coming to this course. But now I am so glad I did! I feel like I am more prepared for the registry and becoming a mammo tech in general. I learned great positioning techniques and tips and the hands on workshop was great practice! It really helps to be able to get in there and do it on an actual person. You can read about positioning and watch it, but until you actually get in there and do it yourself on a person you never fully learn what and what not to do!”
Courtney Vaughn
St Joseph, MO

“I am so glad I came to the AQI Mammography course! Kathy and Shelly make the information so much more interesting by saying funny jokes and doing demonstrations. I learned the most out of the positioning workshop because it was a small group, hands on,
And a mammo tech came in to teach it. I’m glad there was an explanation on MQSA regulations and how to apply for the boards. I was very confused about that before coming this course.”

"Class was awesome Kathy and Shelly do a superb job of teaching! Your class answered a lot of questions that were in the back of my head just in general about mammography. We received a Helmsley grant and that's why my hospital is getting a machine. There will be just two of us learning mammography and I was really nervous about all of this because neither has had mammography experience, the hospital that just bought us will be helping in this transition but I still had some nerves about the whole thing and I'm sure they will arise when our new machine actually gets put in, but you calmed my nerves for now and the Thursday after I got back from class I did 17 supervised mammograms and felt comfortable doing it."

The faculty are outstanding, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, treating you like “family”. Their goal is to teach you to do the very best breast imaging for every patient, and they accomplish it. You will leave this conference with a sense of pride that you can go back to your job and give to your patients the best quality images for making early detection diagnosis. If you are planning to train your technologist to become mammographers it’s an absolute must for them to attend this conference!””
