the property is limited. There are a few spaces available in front of the hotel, some parking underneath, and additional parking
in the attached garage. Additional parking is available behind the Food Lion, across Shore Drive.
On Friday, August 19 and Saturday, August 20, twelve hours of continuing education for Podiatric Medical Assistants and Rad
Techs will be offered. Lynn Homisak, RTR, will join us from SOS Healthcare Managment Solutions to provide the Podiatric
Medical Assistants Program. Ms. Homisak has been with us before and brings a wealth of experience dealing with patients,
improving the flow of the podiatric medical office, and self-improvement. One hour of OSHA and one hour of HIPAA training
will be included. We are looking forward to all new programs; details to follow! This 12-hour course will fulfill the requirements for those renewing Rad Tech-limited licenses with the Virginia Board of Medicine.
The Virgnia Board of Medicine requires that any individual, other than the doctor, performing X-rays must be certified and
licensed. In order to fulfill this requirement, the VPMA offers the Virginia Rad Tech Certification Course twice each year.
The Rad Tech Certification Course will be held on Friday, August 19, followed by the examination on Saturday, August 20.
This course will be taught by Blake Zobell, DPM, who designed the course. Fees for the course include electronic access to the
study manual, the course, and examination.
After registering for the Rad Tech Certification Course, participants will be sent a weblink to the study manual and Log Sheets
OR a flash drive with the study manual and log sheets. The study manual covers information from terminology and anatomy
to film handling and processing. We are no longer printing and mailing study manuals.
It is very important to carefully review the manual prior to attending the course and taking the examination. Those participants who have spent time reviewing the material, have a basic knowledge of foot and ankle anatomy, and have taken assisted
X-rays in their doctor’s office typically perform better on the examination. Please register early to allow plenty of study time!
Along with study manual, participants will be provided with Log Sheets with which to log assisted X-rays. Twenty foot views
and twenty ankle views must be logged prior to completion. It is not necessary to take all 40 views prior to the course and
examination, however, the Log Sheets are a required part of certification and must be provided to Dr. Zobell or the Executive
Director in order to complete the certification process.
A Basic Life Support Recertification Course will be held on Saturday, August 20, beginning at 1:30 pm.
Fees for Podiatric Medical Assistants Program and Rad Tech Certificaton include continental breakfast on Friday and Saturday,
buffet lunch on Friday only, and refreshment breaks. Individuals attending either course AND the BLS Re-certification are
welcome to join us for lunch on Saturday.
Confirmations will be sent to attendees via email. Please provide an accurate and unique email address for each attendee.
Contact me directly at the VPMA office at 877/406-8762 with questions.
Sincerely,
