Accreditation of cardiac CT trainers

After the College has accredited the pioneer batch of Trainers, the present criteria for trainer accreditation are as follows:

He/She must be level 2 accredited and be reading cardiac CT for at least 6 months
He/She must be working in an accredited training centre/department
He/She must be reading at least 5 cardiac CT cases per week with significant responsibility in each case
The HOD or director of the training centre has to certify that the applicant is still doing at least 5 cases a week

Do note that accreditation of cardiac CT trainers does not mean that the trainer is level 3 certified. The accreditation of the trainer is independent of the joint cardiac CT guidelines (2006).
