Are the cases different in the Scheduled Fellowship versus the Self-Paced Program?
No — the cases are the same in both programs. You’ll have access to the same DICOM images, case discussions, faculty reports, and key images.
The primary difference is that the Scheduled Remote Fellowship provides the opportunity to write and submit case reports for grading and personalized feedback from faculty.
Self-Paced Fellowships
What is a Self-Paced Fellowship Certificate Program?
The Self-Paced Fellowship Certificate Program is a curated collection of on-demand courses featuring hand-selected cases, fully scrollable DICOM images, gold-standard faculty reports, case discussions, key images, and prerequisite courses.
The program is organized into worklists. Each worklist includes a folder of content focused on specific topics covered in that portion of the program.
While the material is structured by worklist, this is a fully on-demand, self-paced experience.
You can earn CME by completing courses within the program. Once finished, you may claim your CME certificate by navigating to “Manage CME” in your account settings. After completing the full program, you can claim your Fellowship Certificate by scrolling to the top of the Fellowship Certificate page and selecting “Claim Certificate.”
What’s Included:
- Hand-selected cases with fully scrollable DICOM images
- Gold-standard faculty reports
- Case discussions
- Key images
- Bonus Mastery courses
- CME credit
How much time will I need to dedicate to the Self-Paced Fellowship Certificate Program?
This is a fully on-demand, 100% self-paced course. We recommend setting aside a few hours each week over 2–3 months to complete the material; however, you will have access to the course for a full year.
You’re free to progress at your own pace and can return to the content anytime during that year to review and refresh your knowledge.
Will participants receive a certificate of participation for self-paced programs?
Yes! You may request a Completion Certificate after completing all of the Practice Cases included in your Fellowship Certificate Program (FCP).
In addition, participants in the self-paced FCP can earn CME credit by going through the course. CME credit is also available for completing the Mastery Training courses.
Once finished, CME credits for both the on-demand course and Mastery Training courses can be claimed through your account.
How do I earn the Fellowship Completion Certificate?
To obtain your Fellowship Certificate, it is necessary to complete all the Practice Cases assigned in your chosen fellowship certificate program. The number of cases may differ depending on the program requirements.
Medality’s Fellowship Certificates show proof of completion of our Fellowship Certificate Programs.

Scheduled Fellowships
What is a Scheduled Fellowship Certificate Program, and how is it taught?
The Scheduled Remote Fellowship Certificate Program (FCP) is a structured, week-by-week program that includes hand-selected cases, fully scrollable DICOM images, gold-standard faculty reports, personalized feedback on submitted case reports, case discussions, key images, prerequisite courses, and opportunities to earn CME.
The course is organized into weekly modules, which are completed asynchronously. Because the course is progressive, it’s important to complete all required components each week before moving forward.
After submitting your case reports, you will gain access to the corresponding case discussions and gold-standard faculty reports. In addition, the course instructor will review your submissions and provide personalized feedback within one week of the due date.
When will I have access to the Scheduled Fellowship course?
The course will open three business days before the course start date. You will receive an email from the course facilitator to notify you when the course is open.
How long will I have access to the course materials?
Participants will have access to the course materials for two years from the date of course purchase.
Is a Scheduled Fellowship taught live?
Scheduled Fellowships follow a structured weekly format, but do not include live instructional lectures each week, giving you flexibility to manage your own schedule.
Each week, you’ll receive five real-world cases with associated DICOM images to review. After submitting your case reports, our faculty will provide detailed written feedback on each submission.
In addition to the weekly assignments, our Cardiac CT fellowship includes live case review sessions. If you’re unable to attend a live session, recordings are made available for on-demand viewing afterward.
How long are the scheduled case reviews and lectures?
Scheduled case review sessions and lectures typically last between 1 and 1.5 hours.
What are the expectations of time required to do well in this course?
Learners should plan to dedicate approximately 10–12 hours per week to complete the course, including preparing case reports, reviewing faculty feedback, and studying case discussions.
Time commitment may vary based on the course topic, difficulty level, and each learner’s prior education and professional experience.
Where is the instructor in a Scheduled Fellowship?
As this is an online course, there are no scheduled live class meetings. Instead, the program follows what is known in online education as a “restrained presence” model. This means the instructor is actively involved behind the scenes, but will primarily engage when questions arise or if there are course-related matters to address.
If you have any questions at any point during the course, please contact us at fellowship@medality.com, and we will coordinate with faculty to provide a prompt response.
When will I receive my graded case report with the instructor’s feedback?
Instructors prioritize grading the reports that are due each week. If you submit reports early, they will still be reviewed after the official deadline has passed.
Assigned cases will be graded within one week of the due date. Late submissions may not be reviewed until up to 60 days after the course concludes, depending on instructor availability. To ensure timely feedback, please adhere to weekly deadlines and communicate with the Fellowship Coordinator when necessary.
What is the grading scale for case reports?
Our faculty use a slightly simplified approach to the American College of Radiology’s RADPEER scoring system.
Each case report will include a report grade and personalized feedback. Your report grade will fall into one of the three categories listed below:
1. Does Not Meet Expectations – This report did not identify the primary differential diagnosis (Major Miss) and it impacts clinical course of action (e.g. No ACL tear vs. yes ACL tear)
2. Meets Expectations – This report identified the primary differential diagnosis and used sufficient language in the report.
3. Exceeds Expectations – This report was well written including identifying the primary differential diagnosis and additional ancillary findings.
Case reports may include additional feedback per the instructor’s discretion.
Will your Cardiac CT Fellowship Certificate Program help me meet Level II SCCT Requirements?
Yes, we can help you meet the verification requirements.
Our Cardiac CT Fellowship Certificate Program is specifically designed to support physicians in fulfilling the Level II SCCT verification requirements. The program includes:
- 102 contrast-enhanced CT cases
- 52 workstation cases (Category B)
- 50 video cases (Category B1)
- 60 CME hours
Through participation in this program, you will gain the experience and training necessary to effectively contribute to these criteria.

How do I claim my CME for the Scheduled Fellowship course?
Participants are awarded 1 CME AMA PRA Category I ™ credit for each case report completed for the course. Participants will be emailed their CME certificate at the end of the course.
