California Radiology Continuing Education Library

A robust library of interactive continuing education courses for California radiologic technologists

Welcome to Medical Professionals’ California Radiology Continuing Education Library! Here you will find a variety of interactive continuing education courses for radiologic technologists licensed by the state of California. The California Department of Health–Radiologic Health Branch (CDPH-RHB) accepts for CE credits any continuing education course that addresses the application of X-rays to the human body and is approved by an ARRT® Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism (RCEEM). All of the courses in this library are approved by an ARRT® RCEEM—either the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT)—and are therefore accepted by the CDPH-RHB.

Below you can find a summary of California’s radiology continuing education (CE) requirements for certified radiologic technologists (CRTs), as per the CDPH–RHB:

Certified Radiologic Technologists (CRT) – CE Requirements:

CRTs need to earn twenty-four (24) approved CE credits, four (4) of which shall be in digital radiography, in the two years immediately preceding the expiration date of their permit.

The Department will accept the following advanced credential certificates issued by the ARRT® organization for 24 CE credits if the certificate was issued within the two years immediately preceding the expiration date of the certificate or permit:

Mammography**
Computed Tomography
Quality Management
Bone Densitometry
Vascular-interventional Radiography
Cardiac-interventional Radiography
Radiologist Assistant
Radiation Therapy

Mammographic Certified Radiologic Technologists (CRT) – ADDITIONAL Requirements:

Must earn 10 of the 24 Approved CE credits in mammography
**The advanced credential certificate for mammography will meet the 10 CE credits specific to the mammography requirement. The other advanced credentials will not meet this requirement, so additional CE credits will need to be earned specific to mammography
