REQUIREMENT OPTIONS

OPTION 1: Recertify by Application

To recertify by application you must submit your completed documentation prior to your certification expiration date.  Upon approval, you will receive a new certificate valid five years from your most recent expiration date.*  If your certification expiration has passed, see Option 2.

You must provide documentation of 35 Category 1 CMEs (clinicians/technologists) or Category A CEs (technologists) in the field of bone densitometry, osteoporosis or metabolic bone disease.  Your CME/CE requirement must come from a minimum of two sources.  A single program or course cannot meet your requirement.   

1. Include a copy of your current ISCD CCD or CDT certificate.
2. Complete and submit the Recertification Application as indicated.
3. Include appropriate recertification fee with the application.
4. Provide copies of official documentation showing 35 Category 1 CME or Category A CE.
   
   

*Incomplete applications will be returned unprocessed.

OPTION 2: Retake the Certification Exam

A. Instead of submitting an Application

OR

B. If you are Recertifying after your certification expiration date

 
The exam is offered at regularly scheduled Bone Densitometry Course sites or you can submit an application to request remote testing.  (Taking the course is optional.) By taking and passing the Certification Exam, the minimum number of required CME/CE hours will be waived. You will automatically meet recertification requirements and become certified for a period of five years.*

*Technologists are required to submit scans as part of the exam process, upon passing the exam.
