The goal of the QA program is to assure the public of the quality of practice of medical radiation technology by maintaining members’ performance at a level consistent with the profession’s Standards of Practice and by promoting continuing competence among members. The QA Committee may also make referrals to the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee.
