The AAMD Medical Dosimetry Educational Program Curriculum Guidelines outline the professional content areas important for educating medical dosimetrists. The guidelines were approved by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology in April 2024 and are effective as of September 1, 2025.
The main changes to the 2024 Curriculum Guidelines included updates on multiple sections, including clinical competencies, computers and networking, and various special procedures, to maintain consistency with new technology/practices as well as be consistent with current clinical practices.
The goal of each curriculum document is to outline a common body of knowledge that is essential to the particular imaging or therapeutic science. As the radiologic science profession evolves, the curricula must evolve with it.
Development and maintenance of a curriculum is a collaborative effort. Educators, subject matter experts, and the general professional community all play a role in curriculum projects. The ASRT convenes project work groups to develop new curricula and to perform periodic updates to existing curricula. Work-group members are recruited from ASRT member volunteers and typically include practicing technologists, subject matter experts, and educators.
The SDMS provides practice and accreditation standards and guidelines for sonography educators.
Competency-based education in nuclear medicine technology focuses on those elements necessary to become an entry-level nuclear medicine technologist. The 6th edition of the curriculum has transitioned from a list of topics covered for each subject area to an all-inclusive competency-based curriculum.
