• Fluoroscopic Radiation Safety for the Radiologic Technologist (Online)

Any radiologic technologist may take this course for Categry A credit.  This course was originally designed to meet the Fluoroscopic Radiation Safety portion of the California Department of Public Health Radiologic Health Branch CE licensure renewal rules for Certified Radiologic Technologists (CRTs). The rules state that four of the 24 required hours obtained must be about fluoroscopic radiation safety within the two years immediately preceding the expiration of your permit.  All Radiologic Technologists will earn 4 hours of Category A credits at the completion of this home study.

**This home study meets all 4 hours in Fluoroscopic Radiation Safety required by the regulations in the State of California.

After purchase, the link to this online CE activity will be delivered via email, or you can log in to the course at the link below.
Access the online link for reading material, take the post test at your convenience, and receive your certificate online immediately after successful completion of test.
