Ohio fluoroscopy training requirement

Our Fluoroscopy CME courses for satisfying Ohio fluoroscopy regulations work!

A study published in Academic Radiology showed that patient dose decreased after radiology residents took our Advanced Training Program. More details are available here.

Chapter 3701:1-66, section 7 of the Ohio administrative code requires individuals likely to receive an annual effective dose equivalent in excess of one millisievert from participating in fluoroscopic procedures, shall receive radiation protection training specific to fluoroscopy prior to performing or participating in fluoroscopic procedures.
