National Medical Radiation Practice Exam

Due to restrictions on travel and congregation in response to COVID-19, the Medical Radiation Practice examinations will be conducted remotely. Please review the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) here.

Some individuals will be required to sit an examination prior to the Board deciding an application for registration, while others may be required to sit the exam as part of the requirements of registration. The Board uses the examination as a consistent and objective measure of a practitioner’s cognitive capacity to demonstrate the minimum applied knowledge necessary for general registration.

The Board may use an examination

• before deciding an application for registration
• where a practitioner is not qualified for general registration
• where a practitioner is returning to practice after an extended break from practice
• where there are concerns about a supervised practitioner’s capacity for safe practise
• for practitioners who are granted limited registration  

The examination is based on the Professional capabilities for medical radiation practice, which describe the entry level professional capabilities for the three divisions of medical radiation practice.
