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.
