The next administration of the NMTCB Radiation Safety exam will be offered on three consecutive days, August 7-9, 2025. The application deadline for the 2025 exam is July 1, 2025.

Fore more information, click here: https://www.nmtcb.org/exams/radiation-safety

A total of 277 technologists currently hold the NMTCB(RS) Certification.

Are you the "go-to person" at your hospital or institution for all things radiation safety?

A credentialed NMTCB(RS) technologist will be able to display their expert knowledge in radiation safety, regulation, and the requirements of the radioactive materials license. They will have familiarity and competence within safety matters regarding X-ray, fluoroscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging.

🧠 ☢️ EXCITING NEWS ☢️ 🧠

NMTCB is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking new certification: the Telepathic Radiotracer Injection Certification (TRIC). This revolutionary step in nuclear medicine allows technologists to administer precise doses of radiotracers without ever touching a syringe.

Certified TRIC technologists will demonstrate proficiency in administering radiotracers via telepathy. Candidates will be tested on their ability to ‘think’ a radiotracer into a patient’s bloodstream while maintaining ALARA principles.

To prepare, applicants should practice deep concentration, visualization techniques, and holding eye contact with a patient for extended periods without blinking.

This revolutionary method eliminates the need for IV access, reducing patient discomfort and streamlining workflow.

Topics Covered:
-Enhancing brainwave frequency to improve tracer accuracy
-Mental shielding to prevent accidental cross-contamination of doses
-Ethical considerations of reading a patient’s mind while injecting
-Case studies on successful telepathic injections (featuring Schrödinger’s patient—both injected and not injected)

Assessment:
-A virtual exam where candidates must successfully “send” a tracer to an instructor
-A mindfulness certification to prove focus and intent
-A final task: mentally bending a syringe without touching it (bonus points if you quote The Matrix)

Registration opens today— April 1st, of course!

Upon completion participants receive a printable certificate that includes a holographic seal—visible only to those who truly believe.

“I’ve been using TRIC for weeks now, and my patients love it! No more needle anxiety!”
