 * With the continual growth in technology into the future, it has become apparent the need to establish guidelines for continued educational requirements within the field of radiology. Since the implementation of the time-limited certification process, a debate has formed regarding the validity of recertification verses continued education as well as why the process should exist. Throughout this paper we will discuss the background behind radiology and the recertification plan, advantages and disadvantages for recertification, and propose a solution for the continued growth within the radiology field. **
