licensees are required to obtain six hours of continuing
education which must be acquired within the year preceding
the date of renewal.
Three
of the six hours must be in the Radiologic Sciences, in
the core areas of all licenses such as radiation protection,
equipment operation and maintenance, image production
and evaluation, patient care and management and radiopharmaceuticals.
The other three hours may be in other areas related to
health care.
Continuing
education may be provided by the licensed practitioner
or a hospital in-service education department. The sponsor
of the continuing education must provide specific information
on the continuing education forms provided by the Department.
Request for approval must be made to the MIRLC Committee
at least thirty days prior to the educational activity.
The participant must keep a record of his/her continuing
education and submit the information on the annual renewal
form for license renewal. The MIRLC Committee may perform
random checks to evaluate attendance at the continuing
education.
Continuing
Education approved by other organizations such as the
American Society of Radiologic Technologists, Society
of Nuclear Medicine, American Medical Association, American
Podiatric Medicine Association, or the American Chiropractic
Association, may be accepted. The MIRLC Committee reserves
the right to deny continuing education approved by other
