ARRT Will Stop Accepting CE for Preparing and Delivering Presentations

In June of 2020 during the height of the pandemic, ARRT published proposals for public comment from the professional community about discontinuing acceptance of CE for preparing and delivering presentations, both oral and written. Why? The Board of Trustees state they received a great deal of feedback and decided that effective January 1, 2022, ARRT will stop accepting CE credits for preparing and delivering presentations. They will continue to review CE policies for writing and publishing peer-reviewed journal articles and will let technologists know what further actions will take place.

Patient Safety: Whose Job Is It Anyway?
A Radiology Tragedy

As a Radiology Director, Administrator, Radiation Safety Officer and now owner of a medical imaging education company, I have always received numerous questions about job responsibilities, liabilities, and what job safety requirements are considered acceptable for every modality in medical imaging. I have witnessed and been involved in life altering incidents for patients. This begs the question; whose job is it anyway to ensure the patient’s safety?
