TRAINING:  Educational sessions will provide participants with a fundamental knowledge of the nature and production of x-rays, along with radiation protection, radiographic techniques, patient care and positioning, equipment maintenance, radiographic anatomy, x-ray quality control, and instruction on Tennessee statutes and rules pertaining to the chiropractic x-ray technologist. A primary objective of this seminar will be to prepare participants to obtain a radiograph with the greatest amount of clinical benefit and with the least possible risk to both the patient and the operator.

PLEASE NOTE!  EXAM REQUIREMENTS:  The 2023 Spring TN CXT Examination will be provided online via live remote proxy.  Upon completion of the
classroom training, students will be given access to the online exam, to be taken on the Exam Day (May 14) at the time of their choosing, but no later than the following Friday, May 19.  Examinees will be proctored via a live video proxy website using the individual’s webcam/audio feed from start to finish of their exam session. 

In order to utilize the online exam, individuals must be able to meet the technical requirements which may be referenced here: https://www.proctorfree.com/technical-requirements.  For those who are not able to meet these requirements, an in-person examination opportunity will be offered. All exam applicants must adhere to testing-taking requirements provided in your CXT Handbook. 

Following the initial training session, CXT examinees will receive an email from ProctorFree.com (our live proxy website) with instructions on how to set-up your ProctorFree account in preparation for the online Examination.  Additionally, examinees will receive email notification once both the Examination answers and proctored session have been fully reviewed (typically within 72 business hours) to confirm results and provide important information related to the internship and licensure process.
