MRI Research Safety Training

Please refer to CAMRIS SOP 303: Safety Certification of Staff Entering Research MRI Facilities for our safety training policy. 

MRI Safety   

CAMRIS is committed to the safety of all individuals entering research MRI facilities. All staff operating in a CAMRIS-managed research MRI facility are required to undergo Level 1 MRI safety training. This includes an annual online workday training and an in-person site-specific safety orientation to learn emergency response procedures for each space. Individuals that wish to independently operate the MRI scanner must complete the Level 1 training and require additional knowledge and skills as outlined in CAMRIS SOP 303. 

Online Training   

All staff operating in a CAMRIS-managed research MRI environment must complete the online training annually. The training can be found in workday learning under “MRI Safety Training – Level 1”. Note: UPHS-only staff must request an account to access workday learning by submitting a Solution Center ticket.  

 Instructions for how to access the workday training are available here:

Site-Specific Training 

To be granted access to a research MRI location, study staff must attend an in-person, site-specific orientation with CAMRIS staff. To get started, please file a 'Request Level 1 Orientation' ticket at the CAMRIS Help Center. You will be asked to attach a copy of your Level 1 online training certificate, and to complete and attach the non-patient MRI Screening Form.  A member of the CAMRIS team will respond to the ticket and will notify you of the next available training date. Once the online and site-specific trainings are complete, CAMRIS will grant badge access to the appropriate MRI facility.
