CRA RENEWAL
Recertification:
To maintain the credential, you will need to obtain 36 continuing education credits every three (3) years. There is also a $150 recertification fee due with the 36 continuing education credits.
Candidates who have successfully passed the CRA examination will be awarded 12 CRA continuing education credits from AHRA. The 12 credits will count towards the 36 credits necessary to maintain the CRA credential in the first triennium. And, not more than 18 CRA continuing education credits attained can come from one domain (content) area.
Continuing education credits for the CRA credential must relate to one of the 5 domain (content) areas tested on the CRA examination (e.g., Human Resource Management, Asset Resource Management, Fiscal Management, Operations Management, and Communication and Information Management).

ARRT grants 24 ARRT Category A Continuing Education credits for the successful completion of the CRA examination.
CRA-Retired Status:
A CRA in good standing who is no longer actively working in the field of imaging management may apply for Certified Radiology Administrator – Retired (CRA-Retired) status.
CRA-Retired status has been created to allow CRAs who have retired from the field of imaging administration to maintain a connection to the credential.
Complete program guidelines are available here and applications may be downloaded here.
Please note: CRA-Retired status is not a certification program and the RACC makes no claims on the ability of any individual holding CRA-Retired status to meet professional standards for the performance of radiology administration.
