Important Radiology Licensing Information

The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH), Division of Radiology and Weights & Measures, issues radiology permits, licenses, and certificates for eight categories. Indiana does not have reciprocity with other states.  A permit, license or certificate from another state is not accepted. Permits are required to complete clinical training in Indiana. They are issued to individuals when they enroll in an approved radiography education program. Permits are not licenses. After individuals complete the approved education program, clinical training (with an active permit in Indiana), and pass an approved exam, they may apply for a license/certificate. More details at the license links below.
