CME Requirement
SKILLS Platform
New quizzes are released quarterly on the first day of each quarter and build to an annual Knowledge Confirmation cycle.
Knowledge Confirmation will begin the full year following the award of your certification/specialty. For example, if you earned the RDMS (AB) in 2025 and you earn the OB specialty in February 2026, your first set of AB quizzes will be due on December 31, 2026 and your OB quizzes will begin on January 1, 2027 with a first due date of December 31, 2027.
No, quizzes cannot be printed. However, results are provided instantly after completion. Previously answered questions in the annual quiz period may be reviewed at any time during that year.
An alert will notify you if your internet connection drops. The app saves each question as you go, whether you are on the web version or the mobile app, so you can resume where you left off.
No, once an answer is submitted or skipped, it cannot be changed. However, you have unlimited attempts to answer questions correctly.
You can review historical questions for the current calendar year in both the app and desktop platforms.
They’re the same! Both will receive the same quiz questions, and both will be updated simultaneously each quarter. You can choose which platform works better for you!
You can change specialties with the selection drop down menu at the top of the page. The quiz questions that you can answer will pertain to the specialty that you have selected.
Yes, your activity will be reflected on your portal page throughout the course of the calendar year. Please note that it may take several hours for quiz results to display on your portal page: if you don’t immediately see the results, check back!

As previously shared, Neurosonology (NE) is not included in the Knowledge Confirmation (formerly Recertification) requirements. Provided you remain active through December 31, 2025 and meet all CME audit requirements if selected for audit in 2026, you will continue to hold the NE specialty through 2026 and it will be sunsetted in January 2027. This means it will no longer be listed as an active specialty in the Registrant Directory or on your ID card. For additional details, please visit the ARDMS website.
In August 2017, ARDMS shared with the community that the Recertification program had been put on hold until further notice. Since the discontinuation of the NE examination was set to coincide with the recertification timelines, the Board of Directors approved a resolution that the “RDMS Neurosonology (NE) credential will be maintained until a Recertification program model is established.” With the launch of Knowledge Confirmation becoming a requirement on January 1, 2026, the program is no longer on hold, and we are moving forward with the discontinuation of the NE specialty.
No, there are no additional fees to download or use the platform, including completing your quizzes.
Once the quizzes become required, January 1, 2026, if they are not completed by December 31, annually, the specialty for which the quizzes aren’t completed will be revoked. If you complete the AB, OB, PS, and VT specialty quizzes but not the AE quizzes, your RDMS (AB, OB, PS) and RVT certifications will remain active and your RDCS (AE) certification will be revoked. There will be a reinstatement period and requirements, however, those are being finalized.
