What Michigan requires

Michigan requires more than an online course.

Michigan's current rules require an approved program or at least 40 hours of relevant training for limited diagnostic radiographers. The training must include didactic and clinical components, follow a competency-based approach, cover required subjects and procedures, and provide proof of completion.

Practices relying on conditional qualification have until March 13, 2027 to move affected operators to an appropriate qualification pathway.

Why we built Medraki XRT.

Radiologic technologist

“As a radiologic technologist, I know how much a well-positioned, high-quality X-ray matters to clinical decision-making. I wanted to create practical training that prepares new operators for the realities of the X-ray room so they can work safely, build confidence, and produce images clinicians can rely on.”

Practice owner

“As a practice owner, I saw the cost and administrative burden of meeting Michigan's training requirements. We created Medraki XRT to make high-quality training affordable and keep training and competency documentation organized, making compliance easier to manage.”

Medical director

“As a medical director, I want education to carry through into how we care for patients. We built Medraki XRT to connect learning with clinical practice and mentorship, giving operators the guidance to improve and practice leaders the visibility to support their teams and uphold high standards.”

FAQs

A few more
details.

How does Medraki protect patient information?+

Medraki is a HIPAA-compliant platform. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and role-based permissions control access to clinical images and training information.

Visit our Trust Center for more information about privacy and security.

How is Medraki different from an online X-ray course?+

Medraki combines didactic learning with tools for competency-based clinical supervision. Image submissions, structured quality checklists, and documented sign-offs make it easier for supervisors to review real clinical work, provide feedback, and assess competency.

Can we use Medraki for staff already taking X-rays?+

Yes. Medraki was built around Michigan's training requirements for limited X-ray operators, including staff already taking X-rays. It brings structured learning, supervised clinical practice, and Training Records into one system—making it easier for your practice to organize training, document competency, and address outstanding requirements.

Can our practice use Medraki outside Michigan?+

Medraki's learning modules, clinical supervision tools, and Training Records can support your team's training wherever you practice. The program was built around Michigan's requirements, so you should confirm whether it meets your state's specific training and qualification requirements before using it for that purpose.

Who provides clinical supervision?+

Your practice assigns a physician or licensed X-ray technologist who works directly with your operators to oversee clinical practice and assess competency. Medraki supports that process with image submissions, quality checklists, and documented sign-offs.

Need help finding a supervisor? Contact us to discuss available options.

Is a textbook required?+

Yes. Our didactic modules include assigned readings from Radiography Essentials for Limited Scope, 7th Edition, which can be purchased separately here.

What's included in the Training Records?+

Training Records bring together each operator's completed learning, documented clinical competency, and supervisor attestations. Your organization retains these records even after an employee leaves, and can download them for internal review or to support an audit.

Why is Medraki an annual subscription?+

Medraki supports ongoing learning, clinical competency assessment, and training documentation for your team. Required continuing education will also be included when available.

If an operator leaves, you can reassign their paid seat to another staff member for the remainder of the subscription term. Your organization retains the departing operator's Training Records.

Does Medraki offer continuing education?+

Continuing-education modules and tracking are coming soon. They are not included in the current offering.

Do I need a demo before signing up?+

No. You can purchase online, set up your organization, and invite your team. If you have questions or would like help getting started, schedule time with us or contact us.
