(1) Temporary
Post-Primary License
(a) The temporary
post-primary license (TPPL) is intended for a licensee who desires to complete
clinical requirements necessary to become credentialed in an additional and
different modality. A licensee must hold an OBMI temporary post-primary license
in the desired modality to practice imaging and complete the required clinical
experience.
(A) Supervision must be provided
by a technologist fully licensed to practice in the same modality as the
modality listed on the temporary post-primary license.
(B) All practice completed under the TPPL
must be specific to the modality on the TPPL and must be applicable to the
temporary post-primary licensee's clinical requirements for the licensure
modality desiring to be added.
(C)
Levels of supervision for temporary post-primary license: For purposes of this
rule, temporary post-primary licensees must receive personal supervision for at
least the first three months of the initial temporary post-primary license,
with direct supervision for the remaining period of any temporary post-primary
licensure. For purposes of this rule, personal supervision means that the
supervisor is physically present with the temporary licensee and patient.
Direct supervision means that the supervisor is physically present in the
building and available to assist the temporary licensee as
needed.
(b) A temporary
post-primary license is valid for six months and may be renewed for a single
six-month period. In addition, the temporary post-primary license issued under
this rule may be permitted, upon Board approval, to have extended license
renewals for up to two additional six-month periods based upon a showing of
good cause for each six-month extension renewal, demonstrating that the
credentialing registry's clinical requirements cannot be completed within the
prescribed timeframe due to limitations of the clinical practice site. The
applicant's written plan regarding how the applicant expects to meet the
prerequisites to sit for the registry exam, including information to confirm
how many prerequisites have already been completed and will be eligible for
inclusion as registry prerequisites.
(c) Application process: The following
conditions must be met to obtain a temporary post-primary license:
(A) The applicant must provide documentation
that the applicant has completed a minimum of 16 hours of category "A"
content-related education. The applicant must provide documentation of a
minimum of eight (8) hours of Category "A" didactic education in the modality
related to the desired temporary post-primary license and eight (8) hours of
Category "A" didactic training in cross-sectional anatomy. These hours must
have been earned within the 24-month period directly preceding submission of
the application.
(B) The Board may
require confirmation of clinical supervision and clinical practice site, and
may limit the temporary post-primary licensee to one or more specific practice
sites;
(C) The Board may require
confirmation that the applicant is eligible for credentialing in the new
modality, if the relevant clinical experience requirements are met, and may
deny an application based upon a lack of evidence of
eligibility.
(2) The Board, at its discretion and upon a
showing of good cause, upon written request submitted to the Board, may extend
specific deadlines established in this rule to a later specified date, based
upon a demonstration of compelling circumstances by the individual making the
request for an extension.
