NEW SITE VISITOR TRAINING

We are excited to announce that our site visitor training methods have being updated! We
now not only offer in-person and virtual workshops, we will also provide site visitor training
through our LINK learning management system (LMS). Our online eLearning Plan allows for
asynchronous training with greater flexibility to accommodate everyone’s schedules. A live
webinar session will follow each session to provide the opportunity to pose questions or
clarify information. As time comes for renewed training, site visitors can be enrolled in either
the online courses or can opt to attend a face-to-face workshops or webinar. The choice is
yours!
Upcoming Site Visitor Workshops:
 July 12, 2023—Madison, WI—In conjunction with the AEIRS Conference
 November 9, 2023—Site Visitor Webinar

NEW ASRT CURRICULUM EFFECTIVE SOON

At its Spring 2022 Board meeting, the JRCERT Board of Directors adopted the American
Society of Radiologic Technologists Radiography Curriculum. The implementation date for
all radiography programs is September 1, 2023.

SITE VISIT MODIFICATIONS

Due to the pandemic, the JRCERT realizes that many clinical facilities have experienced
limited staffing. Due to the work shortages, at times it is difficult for clinical preceptors to
travel to the sponsoring institution for interview sessions. The JRCERT finds it acceptable to
perform virtual interviews for these individuals. JRCERT Policy 11.600, Policy Statement
11.610 permits hybrid site visits due to catastrophic events; however, the JRCERT Executive
Staff must approve them.

GUIDANCE FOR MR SAFETY

The JRCERT is pleased to announce that a free module is now available for all program
officials. This brief module can provide additional guidance for site visitors when evaluating
Magnetic Resonance (MR) safety provided by the program for students. It incorporates some
of the American College of Radiology (ACR) guidelines as they are referred to in the JRCERT
Standards for Accredited Educational Programs. Programs are not required to use the
guideline topics for MR safety training for their students since it is merely an additional
resource, but they may. Programs are encouraged to utilize the ACR Manual for MR Safety as
well as policies and procedures established by their clinical settings.

There is also a Magnetic Resonance Screening Template available for program use, which is
also not a requirement for program use, but simply another resource the JRCERT created to
assist programs in this area of safety compliance.

RENTAL CARS

Rental cars not provided by the program must be approved by the JRCERT. The site visitor
will be responsible for pre-payment of the vehicle. The JRCERT will reimburse upon
submission of the site visitor expense voucher and receipt.
