Urgent Notice Regarding the Applications for the Special Board Examination: Ultrasound (Supervised Practice)
|
|---|
|
It has come to the attention of the RCT Professional Board for Radiography and Clinical Technology (the Board) that there may be certain unethical/unprofessional practices taking place regarding the applications for the Special Board Examination: Ultrasound (Supervised Practice). Allowing oneself to be approached randomly by a radiographer, or a radiographer randomly approaching a sonographer or radiologist, to now be an interim supervisor for the purposes of being accepted for the Special Board Examination is one example of unethical practice >>> read more
