Radiologic technologists must complete 24 continuing education units every 24 months, enforced by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). A semi-rural affiliate and hospital program offer a cost-effective solution for meeting these requirements.

Area of Science:

  • Radiologic Technology
  • Continuing Education
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) mandated 24 continuing education (CE) units every 24 months for radiologic technologists, effective 1995.
  • Enforcement began in 1997, requiring CE credits earned in the two-year period preceding a technologist's 1997 birth month.
  • Voluntary compliance was recognized for those who earned 24 credits between 1993 and 1995.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a successful model for providing continuing education for radiologic technologists in a semi-rural setting.
  • To demonstrate how a local affiliate and hospital in-service program can meet ARRT continuing education mandates.
  • To highlight a low-cost, effective continuing education strategy.

Main Methods:

  • A local affiliate of the California Society of Radiologic Technologists, the Sequoia District Affiliate, was established.
  • The affiliate partnered with Kaweah Delta Hospital to provide 12 CE units annually.
  • Kaweah Health Care District provided financial support and ASRT (American Society of Radiologic Technologists) designated providership.

Main Results:

  • The Sequoia District Affiliate successfully planned and implemented a continuing education program.
  • Hospital financial support and ASRT designated providership facilitated the program.
  • Staff involvement in speaker solicitation increased interest and attendance.

Conclusions:

  • A collaborative effort between a local affiliate and a hospital can create a low-cost continuing education program.
  • This model effectively meets the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists' continuing education requirements.
  • Cooperation between staff and management is key to successful program implementation.
