AB The continued competency of nuclear medicine technologists was investigated by retesting previously successful NMTCB candidates and those who gained NMTCB certification by recognition of previous certification (by passing other exams). Volunteers from this random sample of CNMTs took the September 1982 NMTCB exam. The results were tabulated and analyzed against previously acquired sample demographic data. In this pilot study we found 87% of the sample maintained their competency. Further, a trend of higher test scores corresponded with increased amounts of continuing education.
