How to Access JRCNMT Accreditation Reports and Board Actions

JRCNMT accreditation reports are available through the Accreditation Reports section of jrcnmt.org, listed under the site's "Resources For" areas. That section holds summary reports of accreditation decisions and other actions taken by the JRCNMT Board of Directors. Use it when you need to confirm a program's accreditation status or see what the board decided in a recent review cycle. The reports are summaries, not full self-studies or site-visit files, so they tell you the outcome and the action taken rather than the complete evidence behind it.

Where the Reports Sit on the Site

The JRCNMT site organizes its material by audience under "Resources For." The Accreditation Reports page is one of these audience sections, alongside:

• Students & The Public — information about accredited nuclear medicine technology programs in the US and how JRCNMT evaluates program quality
• Program Faculty — policies, accreditation standards, self-study and other forms, news, and recorded webinars
• Site Evaluators — information for those applying to become volunteer JRCNMT site evaluators
• Graduate Data — graduation rate, board exam pass rate, and job placement information for 2018–2020 graduates of each accredited program
• Accreditation Reports — summary reports of accreditation and other actions by the JRCNMT Board of Directors

If you land on the homepage, look for the "Resources For" grouping and select Accreditation Reports. The site does not publish a separate public search tool for individual decisions, so the reports page is the entry point.

What a Report Tells You — and What It Doesn't

A JRCNMT accreditation report summarizes board actions. In practice that means you can use it to answer questions like:

Because the reports are summaries, treat them as a status and decision record. For outcomes data, go to Graduate Data. For the standards the board applies, go to the Program Faculty section.

How Accreditation Decisions Are Produced

Knowing the process helps you read a report correctly. According to JRCNMT, accreditation is a multi-step process designed to ensure the quality of an educational program:

1. The program conducts a detailed self-evaluation.
2. JRCNMT performs an in-depth assessment of the program's evaluation report.
3. Peer specialists from the profession conduct an on-site inspection.
4. The Board of Directors takes action, which is then summarized in the accreditation reports.

An accredited program signals to students, parents, employers, and the public that it meets or exceeds nationally accepted standards set by the professional community. When a report shows an action other than initial or continued accreditation, read it as a board decision at a point in that cycle — the summary will not reproduce the underlying findings.

Practical Checks Before You Rely on a Report

• Match the program name exactly. Reports are organized by program; similar names at different institutions are separate entries.
• Note the date of the board action. A report reflects status as of that action, not necessarily today. If you need current status for something time-sensitive — an application, a licensure question, an employer verification — confirm with the program or JRCNMT directly.
• Cross-check with Graduate Data if your question is about outcomes rather than status.
• Use Program Faculty resources if you need the standards or policies behind a decision.

Common Sticking Points

• Looking for detailed findings. The public reports are summaries; the self-study and site-visit detail is not published there.
• Confusing reports with graduate outcomes. Graduation rates, board exam pass rates, and job placement live in the Graduate Data section, not in the accreditation reports.
• Assuming a report is a live status page. It records a board action; verify currency before using it for a decision.
