Changes to the ISCD CCD Exam Format

The ISCD is introducing a new and more convenient method to take the Certified Clinical Densitometry (CCD) exam.  The CCD exam will now be taken online through the ISCD Learning platform.

The application fee and submission process are the same, as well as eligibility criteria to sit for the exam.

PLEASE NOTE:  There will be no changes to the Certified Bone Densitometry Technologist (CBDT) exam method.  Because the CBDT is an accredited credential by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence, the exam must still be taken at a computer-based testing center.  Certain providers, states, regions, and insurance companies require technologists to be certified by an accredited program to perform DXA scans.
