- You cannot represent yourself as an ARDMS or APCA certificant, including any misstatement about being credentialed in any specialty to current or future employers or others
- You will no longer be included in the directory
- Your name will be listed as “no longer certified” on the website
- You will not receive any of the standard privileges and benefits
- You can no longer display your credential(s), certificate(s), including digital badges

- You will not have access to Inteleos portal accounts or the CME Bank
