  15. State Process The State of Indiana requires that each candidate: Complete a state accredited program CATS Careers School must request licensing exam Pass ARRT Exam (the only approved licensing exam) Receive State license Renew license every 2 years.

  16. American Registry of Radiologic Technology ARRT Process ISDH issues letter to student authorizing them to contact ARRT to schedule exam ARRT sends letter to graduate with exam handbook and further instructions Pay ARRT fees and schedule exam test date (given statewide) Pass Exam of choice (core and spine and/or extremities) ARRT sends passing/failure letter to ISDH ISDH notifies graduate of exam results If passed, graduate mails ISDH its fee and then ISDH will issue the graduate his/her state license. If fail, ISDH will allow the graduate to reschedule and take a new ARRT Exam (submit exam fee again).

  17. ARRT Policy In 2006 and 2007, many states adopted the ARRT limited medical x-ray curriculum; therefore, CATS Careers incorporated the ARRT guided curriculum into the CATS Chiropractic Technology Certification Program and Limited Medical Radiography Program.

  18. ARRT Policy In June 2006, Indiana adopted the ARRT curriculum and testing requirements for limited scope applicants. In 2007, the Indiana law went into effect which took away the ability for chiropractors to train their own employees.

  19. ARRT Policy In June 2007, ARRT adopted a new policy which will require limited scope applicants retest every 10 years beginning in 2011.

  20. ARRT Policy In August 2009, ARRT adopted a new policy which will require limited scope applicants to have an associate degree or higher prior to applying for the ARRT limited scope exam, which will take effect in 2015. This will completely eliminate chiropractic x-ray technologists as less than 2% of chiropractic assistants/technologists have an associate’s degree.

  21. ARRT Policy Due to the associate degree requirement for licensure, many schools have decided to discontinue their limited scope x-ray programs, which will include programs in Indiana. Currently there are only two schools in Indiana that offer Chiropractic LMR Programs.
