The most recent Webinar Wednesday session, sponsored by Philips, featured four ultrasound experts sharing tips on how to streamline work via remote access. Those who attended the webinar “Learn How To Streamline Your Support Workflow With Remote Access To Your Philips Ultrasound Systems” are eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
The 60-minute webinar’s panel of Philips experts included Stone Dupree, Ultrasound Technical Trainer and Developer; Mark Potts, Senior Service Product Manager, Ultrasound; Terri Richardson, Senior Global Product Manager; and Jim Moran, North America Service Product Manager, Ultrasound.
