If you have been out of practice for more than two years, what must you do to renew eligibility?

• A. Retake the ARRT exam
• B. Pay a reentry fee
• C. Prove competency to the board
• D. Complete a six-month refresher course

Answer: (C)

When someone has been out of practice for more than two years, the board requires proof that you’re currently competent to perform radiologic procedures. This ensures you can work safely and up to today’s standards before you can renew eligibility. The path typically involves a board-approved competency assessment or practical evaluation that the board reviews and approves. This demonstrates you can apply current techniques, safety practices, and professional standards in practice now. Retaking the ARRT exam is a separate credentialing process and isn’t what the board uses to determine renewal eligibility after a long break. A reentry fee or a six-month refresher course alone doesn’t satisfy the board’s requirement to prove ongoing competency; the key step is obtaining a board-validated demonstration of current ability.
