Program Guidance

Lantheus Medical Imaging will consider supporting Independent Medical Education (IME) programs and activities designed to enhance the professional skills and knowledge of healthcare professionals, when the program is independently developed and conducted by an appropriately qualified provider. Supported programs must be objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous. While Lantheus Medical Imaging will consider requests for support to independent medical education programs and activities in all clinical and diagnostic areas, Lantheus Medical Imaging currently gives priority to support independent medical education programs in the following diagnostic areas: Contrast Echocardiography and Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA).

Lantheus Medical Imaging maintains a strict policy of not exercising any influence or control over the content or materials of any independent medical education program funded by Lantheus Medical Imaging.

Grants may be awarded to recipients for the activities described below. Eligibility varies by the type of activity, and is described on each program page.

• Grand Rounds or Journal Clubs are educational activities held primarily for the benefit of a hospital's personnel.
• IME includes conferences, such as symposia, satellite symposia, teleconferences, live webcasts, multi-speaker meetings, etc., and the development of IME enduring materials, such as monographs, CD ROMS/DVDs, audio recordings, journals, online CME, etc. Multi-Approach IME requests involve a combination of a conference and enduring materials.
