Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main HTM certifications, and who should hold each?

AAMI's Credentials Institute (ACI) administers CBET for biomedical equipment technicians, CRES for radiology equipment specialists, CLES for laboratory equipment specialists, and CHTM for healthcare technology managers. CBET fits bench technicians, the specialty credentials fit imaging or lab focus, and CHTM is the management-track credential. Match the certification to the role's actual scope rather than treating CBET as the ceiling for everyone.

What does it take to qualify for the CBET exam?

Full CBET status typically requires an associate degree or higher in electronics or biomedical equipment technology plus three years of full-time BMET experience, with alternate combinations of education and experience also accepted. The exam is self-study; AAMI offers prep courses but does not require them to sit. Check the current ACI Candidate Handbook before committing, because eligibility paths and credit hours are revised periodically.

What does CHTM require, and is it worth it for managers?

CHTM eligibility requires an existing ACI certification (CBET, CRES, CLES, or CCE) plus at least three years as an HTM supervisor or manager in the last five years. It validates leadership, finance, and regulatory competence rather than bench skill, which is the gap most technical promotions expose. For directors building a credible management pipeline, CHTM is the credential that signals readiness for the role.

How serious is the BMET workforce shortage, and what is driving it?

It is structural, not cyclical. Industry surveys have found a large share of the HTM workforce at or near retirement age, while the academic pipeline has contracted: roughly 30 BMET programs closed over a recent five-year span, leaving many states without a dedicated program. The result is demand for new technicians that far outpaces annual graduates, so directors increasingly grow talent internally rather than hire it ready-made.

When should we use a staffing agency or an HTM consulting firm instead of hiring?

Use HTM staffing agencies to cover surge work, vacancies during a search, or specialized imaging and lab service you cannot justify full-time. Use consulting firms for assessments, program transitions, and capital or compliance strategy where you need outside expertise on a defined engagement, not a permanent seat. Both cost a premium per hour, so reserve them for gaps that a direct hire cannot fill in time.
