Additional certification in Interventional Radiology (IR) preferred (e.g., ARRT(IR)).

Basic Life Support (BLS) certification.

Strong attention to detail and ability to handle stressful situations.

Ability to work in a fast-paced and team-oriented environment.

Licensure and Certification Requirements by State: The requirements for licensure and certification for an Interventional Radiology Tech vary by state. Below are some general guidelines:

States that require certification and/or licensure:

California: Requires state licensure for radiologic technologists. IR certification is also required for certain advanced practices.

Florida: Requires licensure from the Florida Department of Health for radiologic technologists, with additional certification in Interventional Radiology often preferred.

New York: Requires licensure for radiologic technologists by the New York State Department of Health, and specific IR credentials may be needed for certain tasks.

Texas: Requires state licensure through the Texas Medical Board for radiologic technologists.

Massachusetts: Requires licensure by the Board of Registration in Medicine for radiologic technologists, and IR-specific certification may be beneficial.

States with voluntary or less restrictive requirements:

Some states, such as Arizona and Michigan, may not have strict licensure requirements for radiologic technologists, but professional certification (e.g., ARRT) is often preferred or required by employers.

Note: Certification requirements may be updated regularly, and individual states may have different guidelines for IR Techs regarding their scope of practice. It is essential for IR Technologists to be aware of state-specific rules and keep their credentials up to date.
