The American Board of Radiology revealed its full exam schedule for 2022 on Friday, updating it to include all oral exam dates.

Its testing slate will kick off with the diagnostic and interventional radiology subspecialty exams in nuclear imaging on Jan. 10. ABR’s Radioisotope Safety Exam occurs the same day, and next year’s entire round of offerings will remain web-only after the Tucson, Arizona-based certification group shelved in-person testing during the pandemic.

ABR also added secondary dates for oral exams, which come with a caveat.

“While these additional dates are intended for candidates who must miss the first exam, or conditioned or failed a prior attempt, anyone who is eligible to sit for an oral exam has the ability to choose the corresponding secondary date,” the not-for-profit said July 23.

Part 1 of the medical physics qualifying exam will follow on Jan. 13 and others are slated to follow in April. In another update shared July 19, ABR urged candidates to complete technical checks on their computer prior to exam day, utilizing the location and hardware they plan to use. Board staffers are unable to provide technical support for remote exams, and test-takers assume full responsibility for ensuring each setup meets their stipulations.

Oral exams in medical physics, radiation oncology and interventional radiology require a navigator-led technical check 3-4 weeks prior to the event. Candidates will receive a notice to set up a check after registering for their exam, and the one-on-one with an ABR team member takes about 30 minutes.

About 98% of respondents to one recent to a May ABR survey said they found the technical check useful.
