CMD Credentialing

Medical Dosimetrists become certified by the MDCB upon passing the examination and are eligible to use the credential of Certified Medical Dosimetrist (CMD). Five-year cycles commence January 1 following the year in which the CMD passed the exam; CMDs can then begin accumulating continuing education credits.

CMDs must pay an annual renewal fee to maintain their credential. Annual credential renewal fees must be paid by December 31. A 30-day grace period, with monetary penalty, is allowed until January 31. The annual credentialing fee is $175.

Dosimetrists who have not submitted the annual renewal fee will not be allowed to use the credential “CMD” and will not be listed in the registry of Certified Medical Dosimetrists. The only way to reinstate the credential is by passing the MDCB Certification Exam.

Additionally, every five years a CMD must show proof of continuing knowledge and skills by documenting 50 continuing education credits.

Retirement

CMDs who elect to retire the credential should email the MDCB at info@mdcb.org to advise of their decision to retire. No annual fee will need to be submitted following retirement. However, once retired, practitioners will not be considered active CMDs or be able to use the CMD credential. The only way to reinstate the CMD credential is to pass the CMD exam. 

Duplicate Certificate Policy

New CMDs will receive a welcome email with links to the CMD Verification portal, a press release template, and the certification handbook. A wall certificate will be mailed via USPS to the address on file. It is the professional responsibility of the new CMD to ensure that their address on file is correct so they receive the certificate when it is mailed. CMDs who request a new certificate because they did not make the necessary changes to their address in the CE Center will incur a replacement fee of $25.

Any current CMD can request a duplicate copy of a certificate. There will be a $25 fee for processing and shipping/handling charges.

The CE Center is located at https://mdcb.learningbuilder.com/. CMDs can verify courses on learning plans (transcripts), renew annual registration, and confirm MDCB-approved activities. To navigate the CE Center website, Internet Explorer 7 or greater or Firefox browsers are required.
