Since certification examinations are required to be practice related, ARRT periodically conducts a job analysis to make certain that the certification examination content specifications and the clinical requirements remain comprehensive, accurate, and fair. ARRT, with the help of the professional community, reviews the certification documents every five years. The ARRT Board of Trustees recently approved changes to the following document, which goes into effect on July 1, 2022.
OVERVIEW OF THE MAJOR CHANGES TO THE CLINICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS
- A clarification was made that mandatory and elective procedures cannot be counted on the same patient on the same day.
- A new elective procedure, perform and analyze VFA scan using DXA equipment with five repetitions, was added. The number of different elective procedures required remains at three.
