What CME do I need to renew my California RHB fluoroscopy or X-ray certificate?

Renewal requires 10 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ in x-ray use, including 4 in fluoroscopy radiation safety for fluoroscopy permits.

Written by Faith

You need 10 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ in the application of x-rays to the human body. If your permit is for fluoroscopy, 4 of those 10 credits should cover radiation safety for clinical uses of fluoroscopy.

About the certificate

The California Department of Public Health Radiological Health Branch (RHB) grants the X-ray Supervisor & Operator Certificate to physicians, physician assistants, podiatrists, and chiropractors.

It allows you to use x-rays in diagnosis and treatment, including fluoroscopy, radiography, bone densitometry, and dermatology. It's the same as a fluoro license or fluoro permit.
