Oklahoma Licensing Requirements for Radiology Techs

Oklahoma does not require licensing for radiologic techs – only radiology assistants. However, many candidates will still opt to register with the ARRT and sit their certification exams. There are many reasons to still pursue ARRT certification in Oklahoma, even if it is not a statutory requirement;

  • To stand out in the jobs market,
  • To safeguard against potential future changes to licensing requirements in the state, and
  • To open up opportunities out of state.

Graduation from an approved school is a prerequisite to applying for the ARRT exams.

For more information on licensing, certification, and continuing education requirements for radiology techs, you can contact the Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision on the details below.
