Re-applicant Requirements

A re-applicant is a candidate or Registrant who has previously applied and been approved by ARDMS to take or has taken an ARDMS examination and who is applying to take another examination. This does not include an individual who has only been approved to sit for the Sonography Principles and Instrumentation (SPI) examination under the SPI Examination Requirement or a Registrant who has only earned the RPVI credential and is applying for the RDMS, RDCS and/or RVT credentials.

Individuals who previously applied and were determined to be ineligible are considered first-time applicants, not re-applicants.

Re-applicant: If you are applying for certification in a new specialty area, you must be sure to have a valid CV form on file. If you do not, you must submit an original completed ARDMS CV form in the applied-for specialty area. All CV forms are valid for one year following the date of signature. Please include your ARDMS number on all supporting documentation. Prerequisites do not apply to re-applicants.

It is strongly recommended that Registrants applying to take a additional examination in a new specialty area have a minimum of six months full-time clinical experience in the new specialty (equivalent to approximately 400 cases).

If you are reapplying to take an examination that you previously did not pass, you do not need to resubmit the CV form unless it has exceeded one year following the date of signature. Please apply as a re-applicant and include the ARDMS number assigned to you on your previous application.
