PFCC Resources FAQ

A resource can be a website, article, checklist, video or any other format that will supply information to help a radiology practice become proficient in patient care.

We accept submissions from all types of health care professionals and patients. Submit a resource using our online form.

A panel of volunteer radiologists, patient advocates, and other health care professionals reviews our resources. Once reviewed and approved, new resources will be posted under the appropriate section(s) for general public use.
