HOW ARRT WORKS WITH CE APPROVERS
CE approvers:
- Are radiology- or medical imaging‐based organizations that ARRT has approved to evaluate the content, quality, and integrity of proposed continuing education (CE) activities.
- Review CE activities and determine whether educational activities meet ARRT requirements. If so, CE approvers determine the credit value awarded for completing the activity.
