Registry Changes Make Life Easier

摘要

The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) recently announced some changes, and astute readers will notice the results of those changes on the Directed Reading post-tests beginning with this issue. The first change is an extension of the expiration date. Now, Directed Readings are available for 3 years and will be eligible for an additional 3-year renewal, making them potentially available for 6 years. Previously, the posttests were available for 2 years, so members will have more flexibility to take the quizzes when it is most convenient or beneficial to them. The second change will surely brighten the day of many journal readers. Under previous ARRT requirements, 20 post-test questions were needed for 1 Category A or A+ credit, 25 were needed for 1.5 credits, 30 for 3 credits, and so on. The latest ruling simplifies the post-tests for continuing education providers and readers: 8 questions per credit. This change virtually cuts the number of questions you have to answer by half, without reducing the credit amount.
