Enhancing the MRI Education Experience at Pulse Radiology Institute

At Pulse Radiology Institute (PRI), we are committed to providing the latest, best-in-class technology to enhance the student learning experience. In 2021, we partnered with Corsmed to become the first MRI institution to offer MRI simulation scanning capabilities. This innovative tool allows instructors to teach technical skills, demonstrate clinically-used protocols, and guide students through proper image slice placement on a real MRI console — all in a virtual environment. By incorporating this hands-on technology from day one, we ensure that students gain valuable technical experience before entering their clinical externships.

In addition to our cutting-edge virtual training, Pulse Radiology Institute leverages years of radiology education experience through Pulse Radiology Education. We have established clinical agreements with over 1,000+ clinical locations nationwide, including top-tier hospital networks and imaging centers, allowing our students to gain real-world experience from anywhere in the United States. Based in Florida, we are especially dedicated to serving local residents and advancing opportunities for Florida-based candidates.

We encourage prospective students interested in a career in MRI to contact our Admissions Office for an official review of our institutional catalog. We recommend this program for candidates with prior medical or relevant service industry experience, though all motivated individuals are welcome.
