1. What is my responsibility as a CMD?
A: As a recognized member of the health-care field providing critical care to individuals facing life-threatening illnesses, it is the sole responsibility of each Certified Medical Dosimetrist to adhere to the MDCB Ethical Standards, renew his/her credential annually by December 31 of each calendar year, earn and document 50 continuing education credits ineach five year cycle and make necessary updates to personal contact information in the CE Center. Renewal fees submitted after December 31 will be subject to a $50 late fee. Failure to submit the renewal and penalty fees by February 1 of any calendar year will result in loss of the CMD credential. A CMD whose credential has lapsed can apply for reinstatement in writing to the president of the MDCB.
2. Who do I contact if I have questions about my learning plan or questions about requests for evaluation?
A: If you require technical support, please contact learningbuilder@heuristics.net. If you have administrative questions, please contact the MDCB at info@mdcb.org.
3. How can I find out if a course has been approved for credit? If so, how many credits is it worth?
A: The CE Center at http://mdcb.learningbuilder.com provides listings of currently approved courses and how many credits each course is worth. If a course you are looking for is not on the list then the class did not meet the MDCB requirements for approval or approval was not requested by the provider and is not available for CE credits.
4.

How can a course, not currently approved for MDCB CE credit, be approved?
A: For course approval, enter the CE Center at http://mdcb.learningbuilder.com and submit an online request for course evaluation at least 30 days in advance of the course administration. You will need to register as a Provider, and provide a course outline and the CV of the presenter.
5. How many credits do I have?
A: You can determine how many credits you have and need to complete your five year cycle by viewing your Learning Plan. A current Learning Plan for each active CMD is maintained in the CE Center and includes information regarding how many credits you have, how many you need to complete and by what date the credits must be completed. Please keep in mind you need to accrue 50 CE credits in five years to maintain your Medical Dosimetry Certification.
6. How can I update my Learning Plan?
A: You can update your Learning Plan, by logging into to your personal record at http://mdcb.learningbuilder.com and clicking on "My Learning Plan." To add courses click on the "Find more activities" link to guide you through the process of adding courses. If you have multiple documents for one activity, please merge your documents into one comprehensive document for upload. If you have questions about how to upload an activity to your learning plan, while you are in the process, click on the "?" icon for instruction.
7. Can I get credit for academic courses I have completed?
A: You can submit a request for assessment of your college level courses on your learning plan by clicking on the blue “add activity” button and selecting the “Personal Activity Credit Request” and following the instructions. Illustrated instructions can be found at http://www.mdcb.org/pdfs/Learning_Plan_Instructions_Illustrated.pdf. Requests for credit for speaker presentations, published journal articles or journal editing can be requested in the same way.
8. Where can I find instructions for updating my learning plan?
A: Complete and illustrated instructions for updating your learning plan can be found at http://www.mdcb.org/pdfs/Learning_Plan_Instruction.pdf.
9. I am searching for an MDCB activity but cannot find it. What can I do?
A: The best way to search for an activity is to use only one search field. If you are sure of the MDCB approved course number you can enter it into the "Course Number" field and click on the "Search" button. If you are not certain of the course number, to conduct your search use the "Keyword" field and type in a partial activity title of the activity.
10. What do I do if I have added the same activity to my learning plan more than once?
A: To delete a duplicate activity click on the trash can icon to the right of the activity.
11. What do I do if I have been audited?
A: The MDCB continuously audits CMD learning plans. Once your learning plan has been audited you will receive an email that advises you of your status. Once you receive the audit message, check your learning plan to determine what activities may need for further documentation.
12. I have updated my learning plan, but the activity indicates it is still in "staff review." Is this a problem?
A: CMDs learning plans are under continuous review. Once your learning plan has been reviewed, you will receive an audit notification.
13. How do I know the reason an activity has been rejected?
A: To determine the reason an activity has been rejected or received 0 credit, click on the "magnifying glass" icon next to the activity to read the rejection message.
14. Are my MDCB CMD credits applicable for ARRT CE credits?
A: Yes, beginning in 2008, MDCB was approved as an ARRT RCEEM (Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism) and all MDCB approved credits can be submitted for ARRT Category A credits. Not all ARRT credits will be applicable to your MDCB transcript.
15. My contact information has changed, how do I update my information?
A: In the My Account section of the CE Center you can update the contact information on your personal profile. To ensure approval of activities on your learning plan, if your name has changed, you must submit documentation to the MDCB office at info@mdcb.org.
16. How can I provide proof of my CMD credential to my current or prospective employer?
A: Any institution can download a letter of verification from http://mdcb.learningbuilder.com by clicking on the link for "CMD Verification" and searching for the CMD's name. The system will create a letter of good standing for all CMDs who are current on their credits and renewal fees. The CMD verification letter will indicate your valid date through the latest year for which you have submitted your renewal fee. The letter will not indicate your cycle end date.
17. I forgot my Login and/or Password.
A: To retrieve your password, enter the CE Center and click on the link "Forgot Your Password?" and follow the instructions. You will be prompted to provide your e-mail address for password reset instructions to be forwarded to you. If you are requesting a password reset to a "Hotmail" or "Yahoo" account and it appears that you do not receive your reset information, please check you junk or spam filter folders. If you do not have a current e-mail address with us please send us an e-mail at info@mdcb.org.
18. How can my institution submit a request for evaluation (RFE) for MDCB credits?
A: You must register as a provider to submit an RFE. This will allow you to enter your contact information once and have it associated with all of the activities you submit. Please visit http://mdcb.learningbuilder.com and click the orange "Register as a Provider" button at the left side of the page. You will be required to enter your Email address and create a password, as well as a work address and phone number. Your institution’s name goes in to the "Provider Information" field."

You will see a form for creating a new record for your affiliated institution. Be sure that your existing account has a Work address with the Country field filled in.
19. What should I do if I have questions about the status of a "Request for Evaluation (RFE)?"
A: To check the status of your RFE, log in to your queue, to determine if your activity has been approved or if additional action is required on your part.
