CALIFORNIA

Our courses meet the California continuing education credit requirement as long as the program subject matter relates to the application of x-ray to the human body, which may include x-ray administration, x-ray management, x-ray pathology, x-ray diagnosis, and x-ray quality control. However, subjects in MRI and ultrasound are not related to the application of x-ray to the human body. Therefore, we do not recommend using the following programs to satisfy California state requirements:

  • General & Vascular Ultrasound
  • Communication Skills for the Healthcare Professional
  • Legal & Ethical Issues for Health Professionals
  • Legal & Ethical Issues in Health Occupations
  • Stress Management
  • Ultrasound Secrets
  • Ultrasound Review in Abdomen & OB/GYN
  • Essentials of Sonography & Patient Care

In addition, the following courses meet the new California digital radiography and/or fluoroscopy requirements:

  • Radiography PREP (37 Category A units): 4 hours digital radiography; 4 hours radiation safety for the clinical uses of fluoroscopy
  • Essentials of Radiography (24 Category A units): 4 hours digital radiography; 4 hours radiation safety for the clinical uses of fluoroscopy
