Recertification Assessment Program

ARDMS is committed to developing a recertification program that is easy for Registrants to comply with.  Here are some fast facts about recertification and resources to make you feel at ease about the program. 

• Assessments to begin in 2019
• Your 10-year period will begin in 2012 but you won't have to take any action until your 7th year in 2019. From then, you will have 3 years, until end of 2021, to take and pass a specialty assessment in each area in which you are credentialed. 
• Assessments will be administered online in an open-book format.
• Assessments are comprised of approximately 50 questions.
• First attempt for each specialty is free.
• Registrants will have a great amount of time and numerous opportunities to take and pass the recertification assessments.

Note: To maintain the RPVI credential, RPVI Registrants will be required to complete future periodic recertification assessments. The recertification assessment program, along with the annual renewal fee and CME requirements, will constitute the three obligations ARDMS Registrants must meet to maintain active status. Policies surrounding the RPVI recertification assessment program are still being developed.
