Continuing Education Compliance
All licenses must follow compliance laws to be assured of compliance with continuing education and maintenance of certification and registration requirements per NDAC 114-02-02(4). Furthermore, NDCC 43-62-14(3), NDAC 114-02-01-04 states, “An individual must be continuing education compliant in each modality of practice and may practice in more than one modality, and all the modalities will be acknowledged on the license.”
The CE hours must be within the Board’s licensure cycle. These hours are NOT in addition to your registry hours. All CE must be RCEEM-eligible and acceptable as registry-approved contact hours. (If not accepted by your national registry, it will not be accepted by the NDMIRTB.)
For example, if you have 5 CE hours related to CT or mammography, you may submit those to both your registry and the NDMIRTB; however, please note that the CE hours must be obtained during the NDMIRTB's biennial (two-year) licensure cycle.
You will not send in CE documentation unless randomly audited by the Board. Please retain CE information for your own records. Some licensees, such as general diagnostic operators (GDO), LXMO, Bone Densitometry non-imaging professionals, RCIS, RCES, and grandfathered license holders, must submit records upon each renewal as their requirements are unique to their individual practice. NDCC 43-62-14(7) and NDAC 114-02-01-10, 114-02-02-03.
State law requires you to be CE compliant.
NDAC 114-02-01-04 states (5) five hours for EACH of those which you practice, but those hours may be the same hours submitted to your registry.
This is a requirement for your state license renewal and is also ND Law. Travels (locum tenens) must also adhere to this state law if renewing their ND license.

b. If required continuing education is not completed or the licensee fails to maintain a current certification and registration by an applicable certification organization, the license is considered to be a lapsed license.
