Licensing Agency

Montana issues physician licenses through the Montana Board of Medical Examiners and requires primary source verification of medical education and postgraduate training. Radiology practice in Montana often relies on teleradiology to serve widely dispersed rural populations and to provide subspecialty reads. The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services oversees radiation safety and facility registration for imaging services.

Many radiologists maintain American Board of Radiology certification alongside state continuing education requirements. Rural providers commonly participate in regional quality improvement activities and peer review to demonstrate ongoing competence.
