(a) The APRN has taken and completed the Fluoroscopy Framework for Physician Assistants(Framework) and has passed the Post-test. Applicants requesting a waiver of the didactic component of the Framework are not eligible to apply for a Limited Permit under this rule, but must apply through OAR 337-010-0037; and

(c) The APRN has completed the Board-approved APRN device orientation checklist; and
(d) The APRN has submitted an application to OBMI for the ARRT Fluoroscopy Exam and agrees to take and pass the exam.

Failure to comply with the three month or extended deadline, if granted, for the Exam requirement, may result in disciplinary actions, up to and including civil penalties and revocation.
(2) An Emergency may be declared by the Governor, Board chair or the executive director.
