Enhancing the MRI & RN to BSN Education Experience at Pulse Radiology Institute
Pulse Radiology Institute uses ScanLab MRI simulation technology to strengthen the student learning experience. ScanLab allows instructors to demonstrate technical skills, clinically used protocols, image slice placement, parameter adjustments, and MRI console operation in a controlled virtual environment. This simulation-based training helps students build technical familiarity before beginning their clinical externship.
In addition to our virtual simulation training, Pulse Radiology Institute leverages years of radiology education experience through Pulse Radiology Education. We have established clinical agreements with more than 1,000 clinical locations nationwide, including leading hospital networks and imaging centers. Students complete clinical training at approved sites within PRI’s authorized enrollment areas, based on site availability and program requirements.
