Committee Charges
The Technologist Advocacy Group (TAG Team), which falls under the jurisdiction of the SNMMI-TS Advocacy Committee, requires one dedicated member per state who is ready to be involved at the local level.
TAG Team representatives should be prepared to share information on any changes in state/jurisdiction laws concerning the practice of nuclear medicine, Joint Commission survey outcomes, Medicare (CMS) surveys, and all other news or policy changes that might affect SNMMI’s technologists.
TAG Team representatives must be able to routinely provide updated information on a variety of issues, including:
- What type(s) of licensure is required in your state (i.e. CNMT & ARRT(N), only CNMT, etc.)?
- What modalities (NM, CT, MR, X-ray) are licensed in your state/jurisdiction?

TAG Team representatives must be prepared to answer questions submitted by SNMMI-TS members from their state/jurisdiction.
