Medality Review: Courses, CME, Fellowships & Pricing

Medality is an online radiology education platform. It was formerly known as MRI Online, and older references to MRI Online memberships, courses, or case libraries describe the same platform under its previous branding. If you have been quoted a price or shown a course under the old name, it is worth checking the current Medality pages rather than assuming the details carried across unchanged.

The platform is built for professional radiology education rather than general medical interest. According to Medality’s published information, it combines four things that are often sold separately elsewhere: expert-led video instruction, continuing education credit, a library of real anonymized cases that can be worked in a diagnostic viewer, and longer self-paced Fellowship Certificate programs organised around specific subspecialty areas.

Access is sold as a membership. Rather than buying a single course, you subscribe at one of three published levels — Standard, Premium, or the Ultimate Learning Pass — and the level determines how much of the catalog, the case library, and the CME allowance you can reach. That model matters for how you should evaluate the cost, which we return to in the pricing section.

Medality advertises its memberships as covering all subspecialties and modalities, with 125+ Mastery Series video courses at both the Standard and Premium levels. In practice that means the catalog is designed to be broad rather than built around a single organ system or a single modality, and the published Fellowship Certificate examples span musculoskeletal, breast, genitourinary, and neuroradiology territory.

Examples of currently offered fellowship areas include Knee MRI, Foot & Ankle MRI, Hip MRI, Breast MRI, Breast Mammography and Tomosynthesis, Prostate MRI, Brain & Spine Neuroradiology, Head & Neck Neuroradiology, and Stroke Imaging. That is not the complete current catalog, and programs are added and retired over time, so treat those as an indication of the platform’s centre of gravity rather than a definitive list.

If you are mapping a platform against a specific learning goal rather than browsing, our courses overview and fellowships overview set out the questions we think are worth answering before comparing any two programs.

The most useful way to evaluate Medality is not by counting courses but by understanding the distinct activities the platform asks you to do. They demand different amounts of effort and suit different learners.

Mastery Series: structured instruction

Medality describes Mastery Series courses as expert instruction combined with case review education. Its CME information describes lessons as being broken into relatively short learning segments that progress through material of varying difficulty. Short segments matter more than they sound: for a working radiologist, the practical difference between a 90-minute recorded lecture and a sequence of short lessons is whether the material can be picked up between lists at all.

Case Challenges: interacting with DICOM images

Case Challenges are described as collections of anonymized real-world DICOM cases. Users scroll through images in a diagnostic web viewer, evaluate the findings, and use quizzes as part of the learning experience. This is the part of the platform that most clearly separates it from a video library. Scrolling a stack and forming an impression before the answer is revealed is a different cognitive task from watching someone else do it, and if you already know you learn best that way, it is the single strongest argument for the higher tiers.

Expert Case Review: seeing the reasoning

Medality offers on-demand expert case-review sessions in which users work through cases and then review the diagnoses and teaching with faculty. The value here is less the answer than the route to it — what the reader looked at first, what they excluded, and how they phrased the finding.

Quizzes and practice reports

500+ case quizzes are advertised at the Premium level, and some Fellowship Certificate programs include practice reports and Gold Standard Reports against which your own wording can be compared. Report writing is a distinct skill from image interpretation, and platforms that address it at all are comparatively uncommon.

Fellowship Certificate programs: the structured path

Finally, the fellowship programs bundle these activities into a defined, self-paced sequence with a Certificate of Completion at the end. The difference between a membership and a fellowship program is essentially the difference between a library and a curriculum. We cover the important caveats in the Fellowship Certificates section.

Why should a prospective buyer care about these distinctions? Because they predict whether you will still be using the subscription in month eight. Passive viewing is easy to start and easy to abandon; case work and structured programs create a reason to return. None of this is a claim about clinical performance or patient outcomes — it is simply a way of matching a purchase to how you actually study.

The following figures come from Medality’s published membership information at the time of our review.

Standard versus Premium

Standard currently advertises 125+ Mastery Series video courses, access to select cases within those courses, coverage across all subspecialties and modalities, 200+ CME and CPD hours, regularly added and updated content, and a 7-day free trial. It is, in effect, the course-led membership: you watch, you learn, you claim credit up to a defined ceiling.

Premium keeps that educational content and adds the case-based environment — 4,000+ high-yield cases, 500+ expert case reviews, fully scrollable DICOM images, 500+ case quizzes, MRI protocols, digital textbooks, additional resources, unlimited CME and CPD hours, state-required CME availability, and additional on-demand educational conference content. The published Premium page currently states a 7-day money-back guarantee, which is a refund window after purchase and is not the same thing as Standard’s advertised 7-day free trial.

At $1,499 per year against $1,200 per year, the annual gap between Standard and Premium is smaller than the feature gap suggests. That makes the decision unusually clean: if you will genuinely work cases and want CME without a ceiling, the increment is modest. If you will not open the case library, you are paying for capacity you do not use, and Standard is the more honest purchase. The two-year Premium plan at $2,499 also currently advertises a $1,000 bonus credit that can be applied, according to Medality’s published terms, toward eligible Fellowship Certificate options — worth reading carefully if a fellowship is already on your roadmap, and worth ignoring entirely if it is not.

Why Ultimate is a different decision

The Ultimate Learning Pass, at $4,999 per year or $7,949 for two years, is not simply “more Premium”. Medality describes it as combining Premium membership with access to its self-paced Fellowship Certificate programs. That changes the nature of the purchase: you are no longer buying reference material and practice, you are buying into structured programs that require sustained time to complete. The exact number of included fellowships can change as the catalog changes, so confirm the currently included fellowship list directly with Medality before treating any specific program as part of the package.

The most expensive tier is not automatically the best one. It is the right tier only if you have a concrete plan to complete at least one, and realistically more than one, fellowship program within the subscription period. Otherwise, buying a single program or a Premium membership will usually cost less for the same practical benefit.

Premium is likely to be the tier most prospective buyers are actually weighing, so it deserves its own treatment. Medality currently advertises it as including:

• 125+ Mastery Series courses across all subspecialties and modalities
• 4,000+ high-yield cases for hands-on practice and review
• 500+ expert case reviews
• Fully scrollable DICOM images
• 500+ case quizzes
• MRI protocols and digital textbooks
• Unlimited CME and CPD hours, plus state-required CME availability
• Additional on-demand educational conference content and further resources

Read as a set rather than a list, these features describe a study environment instead of a catalog. The courses supply the framework, the cases supply repetition, the quizzes supply feedback, and the protocols and textbooks act as reference when something needs checking mid-case. The unlimited CME and CPD allowance removes the need to ration which activities you claim, which is genuinely useful if you carry a large annual requirement.

Who gets the most out of that? Broadly, three groups. Radiologists moving into unfamiliar territory, where volume of cases is the fastest way to build a pattern library. Radiologists with a heavy recurring CME requirement, for whom an uncapped allowance changes the arithmetic. And anyone whose honest preference is doing over watching — the people who abandon lecture libraries but finish case sets.

Conversely, if your use case is a handful of specific topics, Premium’s depth is largely unexploited. The 4,000+ case figure is only an advantage to the extent that you work through it.

Medality describes its Fellowship Certificate programs as practice-focused, self-paced online programs designed around subspecialty training. Depending on the program, features can include DICOM case files, expert instruction, practice reports, quiz questions, Gold Standard Reports, case review videos, educational references, CME, and a Certificate of Completion.

The meaningful difference from simply watching courses is sequencing and accountability. A membership lets you sample; a fellowship program sets out a defined body of material, asks you to produce something — a report, a quiz answer, an impression — and then shows you a reference standard. For professionals who have tried self-directed study and found it drifts, that structure is the product.

Program structure, number of cases, CME amount, duration, and other requirements vary by fellowship. There is no single specification that applies across the range, so any figure you have seen for one program should not be assumed to hold for another. Check the individual program page for the one you are considering.

That caveat is not a criticism of the programs. Continuing professional education and accredited fellowship training are different things serving different purposes, and a well-built self-paced program can be extremely valuable on its own terms. The problem only arises when a buyer expects the certificate to carry formal weight it was never designed to carry. Our fellowships overview explains how we draw that distinction across providers.

Medality states that it is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Its CME information currently states that its broader radiology course catalog provides opportunities to earn more than 600 hours of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

That 600+ figure describes the published catalog as a whole, not what any one membership or activity delivers. The Standard plan advertises 200+ CME and CPD hours; Premium advertises unlimited CME and CPD hours alongside state-required CME availability. The credit actually available to you depends on the specific activity or program you complete and on the terms in force when you complete it.

Medality also states that its CME offerings may help users meet various requirements including ABR MOC, MQSA, SCCT, SCMR, and certain state licensing and credentialing requirements.

If CME is the main reason you are considering a membership, our CME overview sets out how we compare credit paths across providers.

None of the following are complaints about the product. They are the practical questions we would want answered before committing, and they apply to any subscription of this size.

The cost is a real commitment

Premium at $1,499 per year is a meaningful investment for an individual paying out of pocket, and the Ultimate Learning Pass at $4,999 per year is substantially more. If your employer has an education allowance, the timing of your purchase relative to that budget cycle may matter more than the sticker price.

Value depends on usage, not inclusions

A library of 4,000+ cases is worth exactly as much as the portion you work through. Be honest about your available study hours before buying on breadth. Not every user needs thousands of cases, and there is no penalty in choosing the smaller plan and upgrading later if you outgrow it.

Fellowship programs are not interchangeable

Structure, case volume, CME, and duration vary by program. Evaluate the specific fellowship you want, not the concept.

CME requirements vary, and so does what counts

Your requirements depend on your board, your state, and your employer. Confirm that the activity you plan to complete produces credit you can actually use.

Pricing and promotions change

Published prices, bonus credits, trial terms, and guarantee windows all change. Everything in this review reflects what Medality published at the time of writing, and should be re-checked before you buy.

Compare against the objective, not the competitor

The most common expensive mistake is buying a comprehensive platform to solve a narrow problem. Write down what you want to be able to do in twelve months, then judge the plan against that.

Since the annual difference is $299, the decision comes down to one question: will you use the cases?

Who probably needs Standard

Standard is likely sufficient if your goal is structured video instruction across subspecialties plus a defined amount of CME, and you expect to learn primarily by watching and reading. It also suits anyone testing whether this style of platform fits their habits at all — the advertised 7-day free trial exists for exactly that. If 200+ CME and CPD hours comfortably exceeds your annual requirement, the unlimited allowance above it is not buying you anything.

Who could benefit from Premium

Premium may be the better choice if you learn by doing, if you want scrollable DICOM cases and quizzes rather than only lectures, if you have a large or unpredictable CME requirement, if you need state-required CME options, or if you are deliberately building depth in an area where case volume is the constraint. If a Fellowship Certificate is plausibly on your horizon, the two-year plan’s advertised $1,000 bonus credit is worth reading against Medality’s published terms.

When Premium may be unnecessary

If you have limited study time, if your CME need is modest and already met, or if you know from experience that you do not finish case sets, Premium’s additional capability is unlikely to convert into learning. Starting on Standard and upgrading once you have proven the habit is a reasonable, lower-risk path.

Based on the published feature set, the platform appears aimed at several overlapping groups.

• Practising radiologists who want education that fits around clinical work, delivered in short self-paced segments.
• Radiologists expanding into another area, where broad subspecialty coverage and a large case library are the point.
• Professionals with ongoing CME obligations, particularly where an uncapped allowance or state-required CME options are relevant.
• People who prefer case-based learning and want a diagnostic viewer rather than static images.
• Those wanting structured self-paced education with a defined endpoint, via the Fellowship Certificate programs.

We are describing fit with a learning preference and a stated set of features. We are not making any claim about whether a program meets an individual’s clinical competency needs, and that judgement is not ours to make.

A large membership is the wrong shape for some genuine needs. Consider a different type of resource if you recognise yourself here.

• You need only a few CME credits. Buying an annual membership to cover a small requirement is rarely efficient; single-activity CME is a better match.
• You are looking primarily for free education. Society material, open case collections, and journal content cost nothing, at the price of structure.
• You require an institution-specific program. If your employer or department mandates a particular curriculum, that requirement comes first.
• You are seeking formal accredited residency or fellowship training. Continuing professional education is not a substitute for accredited graduate medical education, and no online certificate changes that.

Our how we review page explains the factors we weigh when a platform suits one reader and not another.

On paper, Medality’s distinguishing feature is not the size of its video catalog but the fact that instruction sits alongside a substantial case-based environment with scrollable DICOM images, expert case reviews, and quizzes. Plenty of platforms will sell you lectures. Fewer ask you to form an impression first and then show you how an experienced reader got there.

Premium is the most compelling tier for someone who expects to use both sides of that — the educational library and the hands-on case resources — particularly where an uncapped CME and CPD allowance is genuinely useful. Standard is the more sensible purchase for a reader whose interest is course-based education and a defined amount of credit; the $299 annual difference only pays for itself if the case library actually gets used.

The Fellowship Certificate programs open a third path for professionals who want structured subspecialty education with a defined endpoint, and the Ultimate Learning Pass packages that with Premium at a substantially higher price. That tier only makes sense with a concrete completion plan. In every case, buyers should be clear about exactly what the certificate represents, confirm current pricing and CME details with Medality, and check how any certificate is treated by the people whose opinion of it will matter.
