ABOUT OUR SERVICES WITH OTHERS!
S.T.A.R.S. (Specialized Topics in Areas of Radiologic Sciences) is a well established, inexpensive quality provider of home study materials for training and continuing education for General X-ray Machine Operators (GXMOs) also called Limited Scope Operators (LSOs) and Limited Scope Radiographers (LSRs) and nurses.
State Licenses: These training and continuing education credits apply to state license requirements in Ohio. Please check with your state licensing organization if you are not practicing in Ohio and concerned about acceptability since individual state rules change over time.
Home studies have been approved by the Ohio Department of Health for licensed GXMOs and non-licensed applicants for the state exam.
