Updates on Eligibility for 2010

The CBCCT eligibility criteria for cardiology and nuclear medicine specialists adhere to the ACCF/AHA Clinical Competence Statement on Cardiac Imagining with Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance (Vol. 46 No 2, 2005). Note that the competency criteria related to case-based experience has been permanently adopted by the ACC, and will not lapse in 2010 as originally scheduled. For details see http://content.onlinejacc.org/cgi/content/full/j.jacc.2009.11.007

Fellows/Residents who have not yet taken their Cardiology, Nuclear Medicine or Radiology boards yet are permitted to sit for the CBCCT exam provided they are in their penultimate year of training and will be in their final year of training at the time of the exam. Such candidates will apply as “Testamurs” and will be granted full Diplomate status upon successful completion of their primary boards and the CBCCT boards. It is the responsibility of the Candidate to provide CBCCT with documentation of passing their primary boards.

2010 is the last year the Alternate Pathway will be available. The Alternate Pathway is for Candidates who have extensive experience in cardiac CT, but are board certified in a specialized area other than Cardiology, Nuclear Medicine or Radiology.
