RPAs reach over the 300 mark!!! Will the ARRT grandfather us or not? We will see.

Please do not be bullied into taking the ARRT test for the RA. I was actually surprised that the sonographers do not even recognize that the ARRT has a sonography certification. The sonographers are sticking together and taking the test given by the ARDMS only. I think we can all learn from this. ARDMS came first and thus these individuals do not have to take the ARRT test just because now they have it. Does this sound familiar?

The Only Conference dedicated for the RPA/RA

The national NSRPA conference will be held at the Gold Coast Casino in Las Vegas, NV Feburary 2008. Cost is reasonable and anyone who wants to be RPA/RA should attend. Anyone who is a RPA should attend and anyone who has ever considered becoming a RPA should most certainly should attend. If you have any questions please contact me.
