Reinstatement (CME Audit)

What happens if you fail the CME Audit? If you fail the CME Audit and have not completed the Procedure for Reinstatement steps below by April 30, 2025, your credential(s) will be revoked. Once revoked, you will have until August 1, 2025 to complete the Procedure for Reinstatement and have your credential(s) reinstated. After August 1, 2025, your credential(s) will be permanently revoked and:

  • You will no longer be a registered ARDMS sonography professional;
  • You cannot represent yourself as an ARDMS Registrant regarding ARDMS credential(s), including any misstatement of fact about being ARDMS certified in any specialty, to current, future employers or others;
  • You will no longer be included in any listing of ARDMS Registrants, and your name will be listed as “no longer certified” on the ARDMS website;
  • You will not receive any of the standard ARDMS privileges and benefits;
  • You can no longer display your ARDMS credential(s), certificate(s), including digital badges; and
  • Continuing to represent yourself as certified is prohibited and such unauthorized activity may result in you being subject to a compliance review, in addition to being responsible for the payment of all attorney’s fees incurred by ARDMS in our efforts to compel you to refrain from any unauthorized use of ARDMS credential designations.

Please note: As part of CME Reinstatement you must send copies of 40 ARDMS-accepted CMEs if your original requirement was 30 CMEs or 80 ARDMS-accepted CMEs if your original requirement was 60 CMEs. The CMEs must be earned within your three-year CME period and received in the ARDMS office by the August 1, 2024 deadline. For example, if you completed your first credential in 2021, you must show documentation for 40 (or 80) ARDMS-accepted CMEs completed between the date you earned your first credential in 2021 and December 31, 2024.* View ARDMS.org/CME to make sure you have the correct type of CMEs for your credential(s).
