Cardiology Exam Information

For the Specialty Recertification Announcement please click here.

The NMTCB NCT Examination is a time-limited credential that will last seven (7) years, and will expire thereafter. At the end of seven years, specialty certificants have the option to recertify through either (1) re-examination OR (2) by displaying 42 hours of specialty-specific continuing education obtained during the seven year period. (The equivalent of 6 hours per year of certification.) A completed application and payment are required for either option a certificant selects.

Specialty certificants will be expected submit all of the CEs related to their specific exam at the time of recertification, prior to their expiration date. Specialty CE credits obtained for recertification will be allowed to apply towards a certificant’s entry level (CNMT) certification requirements as well, if the certificant holds the NMTCB entry level credential.

Specialty certification must be renewed annually AND the NCT Certificant must consistently maintain their NMTCB (CNMT) certification, ARRT(N), CAMRT nuclear medicine credentials and/or CAMRT(RT), CAMRT(RTT), ARRT(R) or ARRT(T) as either as "Active", "in compliance" or "in good standing."
