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 renew his/her credential annually, including maintaining the appropriate number of continuing education credits each cycle and make necessary updates to contact information. The CMD credential is to be renewed by December 31 of each calendar year. Renewal fees submitted after December 31 will be subject to a $20 late fee. Failure to submit renewal fee by January 31 of any calendar year will result in loss of the CMD credential. A minimum of 50 MDCB approved continuing education credits must be completed for each 5 year period that the Certified Medical Dosimetry credential is maintained. |

How many credits
do I have? |
| A: |
You can find out how many credits you have and
need by going to the CE Center section of the web
site. A current transcript is kept there and contains
information regarding how many credits you have,
how many you still need and when you need to complete
the credits by. Please keep in mind you need to
accrue 50 CE credits in five years to maintain your
Medical Dosimetry Certification. |

How can I find
out if a course has been approved for credit? If
so, how many credits is it worth? |
| A: |
On the CE Center web site there is a list of currently
approved courses and how many credits they are worth.
If a course you are looking for is not on the list
then the class did not meet one of the MDCB standards
and is not available for CE credits. |
|
| 4. |
What do I do if I have been audited by the CE Center? |
| A: |
Once a month, the MDCB randomly audits a small percentage of CMDs who have added courses to their own personal transcripts online. Adding courses to your own transcript is a convenient and easy service provided to CMDs and is based on the honor system. If you are audited, you will receive an email asking you to send in proof of completion (certificate, etc.) for a single course you have added to your transcript online. You can fax or mail the proof of completion to the CE Center before the specified audit deadline, which is usually 1-2 weeks. |
