BONE DENSITOMETRY COURSE (BDC) AND CERTIFICATION EXAM FEES
Note that due to time and meeting space limitations, the Clinician or Technologist Bone Densitometry Course and Vertebral Fracture Assessment course held at the same location overlap each other. Therefore, if you plan to attend both, you miss part of one of the courses.
The ISCD Certification Exam is offered at each Bone Densitometry Course location (taking the course is optional). Remote testing is also available.
