Annual Portland Seminar Changes Venues

This year we are excited to announce the Portland seminar will be held at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center on February 27, 2010.  This change in venue will introduce our audience to another set of insightful presenters located here in the Portland Metro area.  This six hour continuing education lecture will cover a multitude of subjects, including: MRI Arthrograms, Breast Imaging, Cardiac Catheterization Procedures, Podiatry Imaging, the Role of a Diagnostic Imaging RN, and Pediatric Imaging.*

The seminar will be held in Souther Auditorium, on the east end of the St. Vincent campus.  Advance registration will be $45 for OSRT members, $60 for non-members, and $5.00 for students.  Day of seminar registration will be $60 for members,  $75 for non-members, and $20 for students.  Please note that Souther Auditorium has a 150-seat capacity limit, so register early – you don’t want to miss out!  The doors will open at 7:00 a.m. with the first presenter starting at 8:00.  Coffee and pastry will be provided at the morning break.  Providence has a large eatery on the second floor for lunch (which offers gluten-free, vegan, and kosher items).  In addition, there are numerous restaurants within a five mile radius of the hospital. 

Registration materials will be available in two locations this year, on the OSRT website and mailed to your home address after the first of the year.  Be on the lookout for your application because we want to see you here on February 27th!If you have questions please feel free to contact Julia Harshberger, February Meeting Chair, at .
