Clinical modules are held at BreastScreen SA’s Mammography Education Centre, which is located within the University of South Australia (UniSA) City East Campus. This comprehensive clinical training week is conducted on a one-to-one basis, under the direct supervision of a specialist mammography educator. An example program is available below.

The syllabus has been developed to meet the Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy, ASMIRT educational requirements of a clinical component of the ASMIRT Certificate of Mammographic Practice.

Clinical module participants are required to complete the following:

  • Satisfactory tutor assessment following fifty (50) supervised mammograms.
  • Evidence of 200 mammograms performed and appraised at the home department.
  • Achieve a pass grade on their final image quality assessment.
  • Multiple choice questions (30%), Short Answer Questions (70%). A 50% attainment level is required to pass the module.

Cost

The fee for the Academic Module is $1,200 (GST inclusive). Modules are offered at no charge to radiographers employed by BreastScreen SA.

Enrolment

Clinical modules are available throughout the year. Limited places are available for non-BreastScreen Australia participants.

All dates for 2024 are currently full. Dates for 2025 will be announced early next year.

Due to the high demand for clinical placements, BreastScreen SA cannot guarantee a placement.
