Certification Results
There are two national certification exams for nuclear medicine technologists. One is offered by The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). The other national certification exam is offered by the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board.
Upon successful completion of the NMI program and comprehensive final examination, all students are eligible to apply to the NMTCB to take the national certification exam in nuclear medicine technology. Recent graduates are also required to meet all clinical eligibility requirements for ARRT certification in nuclear medicine technology. ARRT candidates must have earned an associate (or more advanced) degree from an accrediting agency recognized by ARRT.
The following tables display the University of Findlay's NMI graduate certification exam outcomes for a five-year period. The graduates may have taken one or both of the certification exams. All NMI graduates were eligible for one or both of the certification exams when they completed the NMI Program. Students may choose to not pursue the national boards if continuing into a graduate program or working in a field where certification would not be required.
The pass rate outcomes below represent successful completion of the certification exams on the first attempt. Many students who fail on the first try are successful on a subsequent attempt.
