Radiology Certification Course
According the state law, assistants are not allowed to take x-rays in your office unless they have taken a certification course. To accomplish this, CPMA, Moore Medical Corporation, and Central Connecticut State University have developed this course for your assistants. Moore Medical Corp. provided the sponsorship for the development of the course.
The course will consist of a half-day classroom program. After the program, you will be ready to take the exam. The exam will be given at the conclusion of the course, which will take approximately 1 hour to complete.
A packet or material will be sent ahead of time to each registrant. However, the material is for reference only. Some of the information will be discussed in class while other sections will be for reference only. The important information will be taught in class and the examination will be based on classroom instruction. Do not use the packet of material as a textbook. It is meant for reference only.
The next Radiology Certification Course will be held on Thursday, Septmber 25, 2008, at the CPMA Headquarters Office, 342 North Main Street, Suite 301, West Hartford, CT 06117-2507. More details to follow.
Prior to the course, you will receive a Podiatric Assistant Radioloy Office Training Requirements form (see below). This is to certify that the podiatrist in your office has trained you on his/her x-ray machine. This form must be completed and signed prior to the course and will be returend to a CPMA representative at the time of the exam. Please keep a copy of the form for your records and bring a copy with you to the exam. You will not be allowed to take the exam unless you bring a signed P.A.R.O.T.R form with you.
