        this is not a correct statement I was informed to retest for 2
separate
         credentials many years later, and CME's were not a problem. The
second CCI
        cardiac credentialed exam I took was in 1983, followed by another
specialty
        in 1986.   I can get you others working in this hospital that can
tell you the same
        thing.  That is why 3 persons working in ECHO switched over to exams
through
        ARDMS.  And the EKG techs all dropped theirs.
