ASRT Makes Changes to it's CE Policy

2/13/2016

 
Good news for Radiologic Technologists and Radiation Therapists. ​The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) had made some positive changes it's Continuing Education Policy. Please see below for an explantion of those changes. 
  1. Repeating Courses – Technologists may repeat any course for CE, so long as they complete it in a different biennium. Technologists cannot repeat a course during the same biennium.
  2. Reduced Number of Test Questions for Self-Learning Courses – The number of test questions required for self-learning activities has been reduced from 20 questions per credit to 8 questions per credit. To calculate the necessary number of questions, multiply the credit count of the course by 8. For example, a 3.5 credit course would require 28 questions.
  3. New Credit Length – The ARRT will allow courses that last 15 minutes to 29 minutes. These courses will be approved for .25 credits.
  4. Expiration Dates on Certificates – All certificates must include the expiration date of the CE activity.​

Automatically Transfer CE Credits to the MDCB

2/13/2016

 
At no extra charge, ASRT now transfers all MDCB credits you earn from ASRT Directed Readings and other ASRT sponsored CE courses to the Medical Dosimetry Certification Board.

This benefit only is available to members who have provided the MDCB with their ASRT ID number. If you are an ASRT member and have not provided the MDCB with your ASRT ID number, you will need to contact MDCB member services at 866-813-6322.

Because your CE credits are automatically transferred to the MDCB, you can easily renew your certification in medical dosimetry online.

ASRT members with a continuing education preference of radiation therapy will continue to receive two issues of Radiation Therapist and four issues of Radiologic Technology. Each Directed Reading article in Radiation Therapist provides access to MDCB-approved CE credits.

In addition to this new transfer service, we will continue to track and transfer your CE credits to the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. ASRT membership guarantees access to a minimum of 15 CE credits per year through Directed Reading articles. You can view all of the member benefits and exclusive discounts online.

For questions related to MDCB continuing education or the transfer process, please call 866-813-6322 or e-mail info@mdcb.org.
