Note; it is necessary that you read and review the content in this same consultant section # 13 in the FULL TURNKEY MRI PROJECT ASSISTANCE section. That preface content read is not provided here for purposes of site brevity, but it important to understand and be familiar with for client-consultant discussion. There is a great deal to learn and incorporate in this module and there are significant safety, expense, and project timeline sensitive issues the client needs to be keenly aware of.
In this Coaching and As Needed Consultation and Assistance Module that you can select for this Imaging Center Project area, we will discuss;
