American Registry of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologists (ARMRIT) Chooses ExamSoft for Remote Exams

ARMRITExamSoft

A national and international entity to deliver remote exams using ExamSoft and remote proctoring technology in the new year.

 

Dallas, TX – ديسمبر ٦, ٢٠٢١ – ExamSoft is pleased to announce the addition of a new client in the credentialing and licensure space: the American Registry of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologists (ARMRIT). 

Founded in 1991, ARMRIT provides certification to MRI technologist candidates who successfully pass a comprehensive exam. The exam counts toward licensure in five states – North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon, and West Virginia – with more states expected to consider licensing soon.

The organization plans to introduce several changes in the new year, including an updated exam format and remote testing. The new exam format will consist entirely of multiple-choice questions, with one right and/or best answer, some incorporating images of MRI Cross-Sectional Anatomy from actual MRI images, using the ExamSoft platform. The exam will also transition away from on-site testing centers through ExamSoft’s remote proctoring technology, enabling flexibility and efficiency for candidates.

James F. Coffin, President of the American Registry of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologists, is looking forward to a quick ExamSoft implementation and beginning to reap some of the benefits of the technology early next year.

“We’ve been around for 30 years, and we have been certifying MRI techs for that long, but now we want to move on to something much more forward thinking, much more diverse as far as the possibilities,” Mr. Coffin said. “For example, we’re looking to better serve the international community.  The reason they have not taken the test to date is that the testing sites are so few and far between in their respective countries. Candidates have to travel extreme distances to take the exam, and that’s just outdated now. So, remote testing will be a big, big benefit for them.”

Britt Nichols, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales for ExamSoft, said, “As we continue to expand our presence in the credentialing and licensure market, we’re excited to bring on new partners like ARMRIT that integrate into our own vision of transforming learning for everyone, everywhere.”
