The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) Standards for an Accredited Educational Program in Radiography, Radiation Therapy, Magnetic Resonance, and Medical Dosimetry are designed to promote academic excellence, patient safety, and quality healthcare. The Standards require a program to articulate its purposes; to demonstrate that it has adequate human, physical, and financial resources effectively organized for the accomplishment of its purposes; to document its effectiveness in accomplishing these purposes; and to provide assurance that it can continue to meet accreditation standards.
The JRCERT accreditation process offers a means of providing assurance to the public that a program meets specific quality standards. The process assures program quality and stimulates program improvement.
An accredited program is a program that has been found to meet or exceed the Standards for an Accredited Program in Radiologic Technology. The maximum length of an initial accreditation award granted by the JRCERT is three years. The maximum length of a continuing accreditation award granted by the JRCERT is eight years, with an Interim Report required after the first four years. The minimum accreditation award granted is 18 months. For the specific length of the accreditation award granted, please search for the accredited program and view the program details.
An applicant program is a program that has applied for initial accreditation and is currently under review based on the Standards for an Accredited Program in Radiologic Technology. An applicant program has not been granted an accreditation status.
To learn more about accreditation and the process, please see our video and review our interactive accreditation process.
