Licensed gxmos get continuing education hours for their biennium and have upgraded their license to perform digital imaging examinations.
Non-licensed employees are required to complete the clinical module and successfully pass the state examination to acquire a gxmo license in the future.
Please call the STARS office at 419 471-1973 for further details and a reservation.
Please check the web site periodically for additional course offerings that have vacancies.

| No travel and/or accommodations needed for your employees; |
| Approved continuing education credit for licensed employees who can apply it to their biennium requirement while upgrading their license for digital imaging i.e. Podiatric, Spine/Chiropractic and Chest & Abdomen = 8 CE credits, Extremities = 12 CE credits, and the Skull, Facial Bones & Sinuses for 8 ce credits. Instead of listening to a repetitive lecture, they get hands on clinical training credits for the 12 hours required in the biennium while upgrading to digital imaging! & |
| Image evaluation on site. |

Clinical Competency Registration Form
CANCELLATION POLICY
A 75% refund will be provided for notification of cancellation before 7 days of the clinical competency training date.
A 50% refund will be provided for notification of cancellation within 3-6 days of the clinical competency training date.
No refund will be provided for cancellation within 48 hours OR for failure to attend.
Cancellation before 7 days of the clinical competency training date will be assessed a $10.00 charge to cover processing expenses.
Participants who cancel will be charged for the printing and shipping of clinical competency training materials.
Over the past decade, I have never cancelled a course based on low registration, inclimate weather, etc. due to the fact that some registrants are on a tight deadline for license renewal. Personal safety for all of us is a priority. If we experience inclimate weather, please use your best judgment by planning enough time for commuting to our location, selecting the safest route and/or arranging hotel accommodations. The ODH does not allow us to leave early so makeup time would need to be scheduled. You may choose to transfer 1 or both days to another location if your time permits. I do not provide refunds when the course is provided. Feel free to call to confirm a course or to discuss your personal needs. Private course offerings may cancel at their discretion and are responsible to inform the participants in advance.
