Section 465-5-2 - Special Permit to Practice as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist

1.Issuance

The board may issue a special permit to practice as a nuclear medicine technologist to a Maine-licensed radiographer whose license is current and in good standing in the following circumstances:

A. The board finds to its satisfaction that there is substantial evidence that the people in the locality of the state in which such exemption is sought would be denied adequate medical care because of unavailability of licensed nuclear medicine technologists; and

B. The applicant has documented the availability of a licensed practitioner to supervise the special permittee at each installation where the permittee will be employed. The applicant shall send written notice to the board of any change of supervisor or practice location within ten days after the change.

2.Duration of Special Permit

The special permit shall expire one year from its date of issuance or such shorter time as specified by the board. The permittee shall achieve a passing score on the NMTCB examination or the ARRT Examination in Nuclear Medicine Technology during the term of the permit. Upon passing the examination, the permittee may apply for licensure as a nuclear medicine technologist. No special permit or permits may be issued to any one individual for a cumulative period of more than one year.
