In the news this week! SCOPE OF PRACTICE FOR TECHNOLOGIST A Scope of Practice is terminology that defines the procedures, actions, and processes that are permitted for a licensed/certified individual. The scope of practice is limited to that which the law allows for specific education, experience, and competency. Each jurisdiction may have laws, licensing bodies, and regulations that describe requirements for education and training, and define scope of practice. Likewise, individual institutions may also have specific bylaws that define scope of practice in the absence of the above. The PET/CT Training Institute does not define a scope of practice or practice standards for nuclear medicine technologists or PET Technologist. The Scope of Practice or Practice Standards for Technologists is established by the professional societies that represent nuclear medicine technologists and the nuclear medicine technologist communities.
Please note that these courses are not intended to modify or alter existing tort law; rather they should serve as concise outlines of nuclear medicine technology skills and responsibilities. Also, note that state regulations and institutional bylaws may take precedence over the duties outlined in these documents.

NMTCB Continuing Competence UpdateSpecialty Recertification Pathway Update: Limited Time Offer Deadline Extended NMTCB recently added a recertification option that allows NCT and PET certificants to recertify by obtaining and documenting specialty-specific continuing education activities in order demonstrate their continued accumulation of knowledge about the specialty field.
To take advantage of the limited time offer utilizing 24 specialty specific CEs for current specialty certificants, the application, payment, and CEs must be submitted no later than December 31, 2021. The CE requirements for expired specialty credentials is dependent on number of years the credential has been expired. Please email recertifications@nmtcb.org for more information on the limited time offer for expired specialty credentials---the application submission deadline for expired specialty credentials is also December 31, 2021.
Starting January 1, 2022, current specialty certificants who want to recertify for an additional seven years will be required to (1) successfully pass the specialty examination OR (2) display 42 hours of acceptable specialty-specific continuing education obtained during the seven year period (the equivalent of 6 CEs per year of certification). Starting January 1, 2022, anyone with expired specialty credentials will only be able to regain the credential by successfully passing the specialty exam again. How do I apply under the limited time offer?
Step One: Request an Alternate Specialty Recertification Application for either an expired or current specialty credential by emailing recertifications@nmtcb.org. The application for this limited time opportunity is not available online and must be requested via email. Please make sure to include your name or Specialty ID number so we can pull your file. Information specific to your specialty requirements will be sent back to you.
Step Two: Gather documentation of continuing education pertaining to your specialty (PET or Cardiology) credential in accordance with requirements.
Step Three: Return the completed Alternate Specialty Recertification Application, payment, and specialty specific CEs by December 31, 2021.
The NMTCB's PET and NCT credentials are time-limited credentials that will last seven (7) years from the date of initial certification. At the end of seven years, the specialty certificant will have the option to recertify in one of two ways:
1) Sit for and pass the PET or NCT board exam to recertify
OR
2) Display 42 hours of specialty-specific continuing education (the equivalent of 6 hours per year of certification).
A completed application and payment are required for either certification option a certificant select to pursue. The specialty CE hours submitted for recertification are allowed to count towards your CNMT credentials’ continuing education requirement too!

The NMTCB Board of Directors has approved an immediate update to the NMTCB Continuing Competence Policy. Effective immediately, NMTCB(CT) certificants will be allowed to use their Computed Tomography continuing education credits towards their entry level CNMT continuing education requirements.
Previously, NMTCB(CT) certificants were required to obtain a total of 12 hours of CE specific to CT content in each two year cycle, in addition to any hours of CE that were required to maintain their primary certification. Going forward, the CT specific CEs an NMTCB(CT) certificant obtains will be allowed to count towards their entry level nuclear medicine CNMT CE requirements.
Continuing competence is defined as the ability to provide service at specified levels of knowledge and skill, not only at the time of initial certification, but through an individual’s professional career. Continuing competence of health care professionals is of the utmost importance to the public, employers, health care providers, regulatory bodies, and professional associations. NMTCB certifications display to the public that a technologist who is credentialed by NMTCB has been assessed in terms of their competence to practice in the profession denoted by the credential they hold.
METHODS:
Nuclear Medicine Technologists (CNMT) CNMT certificants are required to obtain the equivalent of one (1) hour of CE for each month of their CE cycle. (i.e. 24 credits per two year cycle.)Credits must be obtained from NMTCB approved CE organizations. Successful completion of an additional post-primary or specialty exam, or obtaining a grade of C or better in certain academic courses may also count towards the 24 hour requirement.
Computed Tomography Technologists (NMTCB(CT)) NMTCB(CT) certificants must renew their CT credential annually and maintain their primary credential. An NMTCB(CT) certificant is required to obtain a total of 12 hours of continuing education specific to CT topics in each 2 year CE cycle. ** CT specific CE hours may also count towards a CNMT's continuing education requirements as well.
Nuclear Cardiology Technologists (NCT) An NCT specialty certificant must renew their specialty credential annually and maintain their primary nuclear credential as well. NCT certification is valid for up to 7 years. Specialty certificants who want to recertify for an additional 7 years may either (1) successfully pass the specialty examination again OR (2) display 42 hours of acceptable specialty-specific continuing education (the equivalent of 6 hours per year of certification).

HI Tim,
“PET MR Review Course” is an excellent course that gives a great foundation for the medical imaging technologists. It would definitely benefit the nuclear medicine technologist and the MRI technologist seeking to enter the PET/MR field.

Hello Mr. Marshel
I would like to personally thank you for making this easy for me and very simple. I am pleased how easy it was and I had no worries about the videos. I sure wish MORE institutions were like you and your institution because then more deaf people like me would have this opportunity. I am now processing for the License for CT - and hoping to pass my CT exam in the next year or so.
I appreciate all you have done and the easy communication. I will for sure be back for future CEUs and so on. I find it easier for me to do this instead of having several different websites to pay for. Again Thank you

Dear Professor Marshel, I just want to let you know that I passed my NMTCB Exam! It was a challenging experience for me not only doing all my review but also in getting a testing site outside of US. I took a leave for two weeks to prepare last july and by the end of my leave, i would take the exam which was supposed to be in Malaysia. But, unluckily, the testing body had inform me a week before that the site is no longer available. I was really in panic! I called the isotesting and told me that the nearest country option for me were Australia or India. I have 1 week left and Australia was not possible due to Visa issues and so, I took the risk of getting the India testing Centre. > It was a challenging experience but I have learn so many moments in going to India. I could never forget how anxious i was both the exam and the strange country that i would be going. I had an adventurous time! Anyways, With Grace, I Finally Pass!!Thank you, Sultan A.,CNMT Doha-Qatar Alternative Eligibility Course PET/CT Ebooks
