Assistant's Certification in Radiology (Stephen Doms, DPM)
RE: Assistant's Certification in Radiology
(Stephen Doms, DPM)
From: Dennis L. White, DPM
California has formed a Radiology Task Force
to evaluate, and possibly change the current
requirements for podiatric medical assistants to
become certified as X-ray technicians of the
lower extremity. Unfortunately for you, Dr.
Doms, in order to take the California State
Certification test, your assistant would have to
qualify by taking a course in an accredited
facility or class of a minimum of 100 didactic
hours, followed by "on-the-job" training for
three months. Upon completion of these
requirements, she/he could then take the State
Exam.
For obvious reasons the CPMA is actively
attempting to change these requirements. We
would be interested in the requirements of other
States so we may present them at a hearing in the
future. Please send any comments to me at the
following CPMA address in Sacramento:
dwhite@podiatrists.org
We thank anyone who can forward us
information from their State's requirements.

I would suggest contacting Marlene Kern, RN,
PRT in NJ at: markern@optonline.net for
information on how to go about preparing a
radiology course and exam for assistants in your
state. Marlene was very successful in getting
such a course put in place in her state, which as
you may imagine, was a major accomplishment and
did not just happen overnight. As a result of
all her hard work and determination, assistants
in NJ (upon taking this extensive course and
passing the required test) can now actually
obtain a unique license as a Podiatric Radiology
Technologist (PRT). Over the years, she has
willingly shared what information she could to
help other states set up a similar program and I
am sure she would be more than happy to do the
same for you in Michigan. Good luck
