It depends on what you were convicted of, and how long ago. The best thing that you can do is to check with ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists). They will be able to give you all the information that you need. Their web address is www.arrt.org/, or you can call them on (651) 687-0048.
There are criteria that must be met to be eligible for ARRT certification and all candidates must meet the basic requirements in three components. They are ethics, education and examination.
To fulfill the ethics criterion, each candidate for certification and each applicant for renewal of registration must ‘be a person of good moral character and must not have engaged in conduct that is inconsistent with the ARRT Rules of Ethics’. They must also agree to comply with all of the ARRT rules and regulations, and ARRT investigates all violations to make sure that someone is eligible.
Issues that are addressed by the Rules of Ethics include criminal procedures, convictions and military court martials. Any juvenile convictions that were processed in a juvenile court, and any minor traffic citations that did not involve drugs or alcohol, do not have to be reported.
Candidates for certification must also reveal any honor code violations that may have occurred while they were attending school.
To be eligible for certification, candidates must also successfully complete the respective discipline’s formal education program and demonstrate competency in didactic coursework and a specified list of clinical procedures.
Having met all other criteria, candidates must then pass an examination developed and administered by ARRT so that their knowledge and necessary cognitive skills can be assessed. Exam content can be found on the website.
ARRT also recognizes people who continue to demonstrate their qualifications and who comply with continuing education with the purpose of self-development and the improvement of their discipline.
