Member Re-evaluations
The member re-evaluation is composed of a credit point system detailing your professional activities. The evaluation is to be submitted to the Credentials Committee every five years; the first five year period starting the year of becoming a Diplomate or Large Animal Imaging Associate Member. The re-evaluation form should be submitted to the Credentials Committee before 1st March in the year in which it is due. The full details are available in section 2.3 the Bylaws document.
Purpose
The purpose of the Diplomate re-evaluation form is to assess whether a certified Diplomate from the College continues to meet the minimum standards required for the certification. It is a very meaningful process checking mainly if enough time is spent in the diagnostic imaging field during the working activity of the Diplomate (minimum 24 hours per week).
The veterinary diagnostic imaging field is a wide area spanning far more than interpreting clinical images. It certainly includes the work we do with clinical images, but also includes for example,work in academic and commercial practice , presenting lectures, undertaking imaging research, supervision of residents and research students, communicating with referring colleagues, conferences, writing books or papers, or lately developing tools to aid in imaged based clinical diagnosis. All of these activities and more contribute to the development of the field of veterinary diagnostic imaging. If the end goal or output of an activity is related to veterinary diagnostic imaging and the input calls on or benefits from the skill and insights of a veterinary imaging Diplomate, then that activity for the purposes of the form, falls very definitely within the field of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging.
By conducting these Diplomate re-evaluations regularly, the College ensures that those who hold the certification are competent, up-to-date, and continue to meet the ethical and professional expectations of the field.
