Temporary Licensee
(1) Temporary License
(a) A temporary license is intended to allow students or graduates of an approved school to gain additional paid medical imaging experience in the applicable imaging modality before completing required credentialing examinations.
(b) Applicants may apply for a temporary license under the following conditions:
(A) Graduates that have successfully completed an approved school’s didactic and clinical programs within 2 years of application;
(B) Students with an endorsement to OBMI from the medical imaging program director at a student’s school, indicating that the student is in good standing and is in the process of meeting educational requirements for graduation on a specified date, and that the student is competent to work under direct supervision. In this case, a temporary license may be issued which will be valid for up to six months prior to the specified course completion date.
(c) A temporary license is valid for 6 months and may be renewed for a single six-month period.
(d) A temporary license is invalid 30 days after a person is awarded a valid credential in a medical imaging modality by a recognized credentialing organization.
(e) If a temporary licensee is also licensed by the Board in another medical imaging modality, the restrictions of this rule shall only apply when the individual is functioning as a temporary licensee.
(2) Temporary Licensee Supervision. A temporary licensee may only operate the applicable medical imaging modality under the direct supervision of a licensed physician, or an individual licensed by the Board and credentialed by a credentialing organization in the medical imaging modality identified on the temporary license. For purposes of this rule, direct supervision means that the supervisor is physically present in the building and available to assist the temporary licensee as needed.
(3) 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.
