Beekley Medical launches free CE course for mammography professionals

Beekley Medical has launched a complimentary continuing education activity for mammography professionals focused on receptor plate covers and their role in tissue acquisition, skin tears and patient satisfaction. The ASRT-approved course is available now through Sept. 1, 2029 and adds to the company’s existing breast imaging CE lineup.

Why it matters: - Mammography professionals can earn free continuing education credit while learning a practical technique that may improve positioning, tissue acquisition and patient comfort. - The course addresses skin tears, an issue that can affect patient experience during breast imaging. - The offering adds another ASRT-approved option for breast imaging education at a time when patient-centered workflow is a major focus in mammography.

What happened: - Beekley Medical introduced a new complimentary self-learning CE activity titled “Impact of Receptor Plate Covers on Tissue Acquisition, Skin Tears, and Patient Satisfaction.” - The online course is presented by Richard Foster, Beekley Medical’s director of training. - The American Society of Radiologic Technologists approved the activity for 1 Category A CE credit. - The course is available through Sept. 1, 2029. - Beekley Medical said the activity is now available. - More information is available in the course page.

The details: - The course examines how receptor plate covers can support patient positioning and tissue acquisition. - The activity also covers how receptor plate covers may help reduce the frequency of skin tears. - The training aims to help mammography professionals connect positioning decisions with patient-centered care. - Foster said mammograms require a balance of image quality, positioning, workflow and patient comfort. - Foster said the course lets professionals examine how a simple tool can support those priorities. - Beekley Medical’s existing complimentary, ASRT-approved self-learning CE activities include “Architectural Distortion from Surgical Scarring in 3D Mammography.” - That course offers .75 Category A CE credit and features breast radiologist Dr. Terri-Ann Gizienski. - The scar-marking course discusses increased visualization of architectural distortion from prior surgeries after conversion to digital breast tomosynthesis. - The scar-marking course also looks at how mammographic scar markers can reduce questions and improve image-interpretation efficacy. - That course is available through Oct. 1, 2029. - Beekley Medical also offers “Recall Reduction Through Skin Marking in DBT and Breast MRI.” - That course offers 1.5 Category A CE credit. - The recall-reduction course focuses on how consistent use of skin markers can improve the effectiveness and accuracy of mammography and breast MRI exams while helping reduce recalls. - The recall-reduction course is available through March 1, 2028. - Additional CE activities are available at Beekley Medical CE activities and more CE resources.

Between the lines: - The course launch reinforces Beekley Medical’s push to pair product education with professional training. - The company is positioning simple workflow tools as part of broader efforts to improve comfort and efficiency in breast imaging. - The lineup suggests Beekley Medical is building a library of short, complimentary CE options that can fit into busy clinical schedules.

What's next: - Mammography professionals can begin the new course immediately and claim CE credit before the Sept. 1, 2029 expiration date. - Beekley Medical is likely to continue using complimentary CE activities to support adoption of its breast imaging products and educational materials. - Clinicians can follow the company’s social channels for updates, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

The bottom line: - Beekley Medical is using free, ASRT-approved education to highlight a simple tool that could improve both mammography workflow and patient experience.
