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. 
  • Are also known as recognized CE evaluation mechanisms (RCEEMs), state licensing agencies (SLAs), or state entities.

  • Radiology-based or medical imaging-based
  • Willing to evaluate CE activities that any technologist within a given discipline or focus develops

DEFINITIONS

  • CE Approvers:
    Review CE activities and determine whether educational activities meet ARRT requirements. If so, CE Approvers determine the credit value awarded for completing the activity. We also refer to CE Approvers as Recognized Education Evaluation Mechanisms (RCEEMs) or State Licensing Agencies (SLAs).  
  • CE Trackers:
    Verify completion of CE activities and maintain records of CE activities that technologists complete.
  • CE Transferors:
    Electronically submit technologists’ records of completed CE activities to ARRT.

STATE LICENSING AGENCIES (SLAs)**

** ARRT recognizes evaluation processes of these states, which have CE requirements in their licensing laws. Certain requirements must be met in order for an R.T. to use these activities as credits.
