Equipped to meet training needs

The training centers are designed for hands-on instruction and are equipped with imaging technology equivalent to that found in most large teaching hospitals. Philips’ commitment to training excellence is evidenced by its investment in capital equipment:

Each course is designed by a team of system specialists, to meet the specific objectives and needs of engineers across all imaging modalities. Instruction takes place in interactive classroom sessions, online and in the application labs, where engineers work on systems which are identical to those in their hospitals.

The instruction is geared to improving engineers' knowledge and skills to keep systems running at peak levels of performance. The Product-specific courses address system maintenance, operation, customization, system software, diagnostics and troubleshooting.

We also offer training for equipment users. This training is generally conducted on-site by local Philips application specialists.
