What is the definition of inactive status?  Does it also include a RT managerial position that never does direct patient care?  First, inactive must be clearly defined.  Then, how will inactive versus active status be monitored by the board?  I have difficulty understanding how this can be regulated as I don't know how the board really knows a RT is actively practicing.  It seems to be an area better left to the employer to decide whether a RT meets the institution's RT competencies.  If it is regulated, I am not in favor of retesting therapists to return to active status, but instead, to work under supervision for a set # of hours.  Requiring retesting may only add to current shortages of RTs.
