02-465-6 Me. Code R. § 3
Except as set forth in this section, an individual may train for not less than six consecutive months nor more than 12 consecutive months. The trainee must take the examination described in Chapter 7, Section 3 of the board's rules at least once during the traineeship. A trainee may not practice any form of radiologic technology after expiration of the traineeship unless and until the trainee obtains a license from the board.
Except in extenuating and unavoidable circumstances of genuine hardship as determined by the board, no individual may train for longer than 12 consecutive months or undertake a subsequent traineeship. For purposes of this section, the employment needs of a practitioner, or the needs of a patient population for radiologic technology services do not constitute hardship. Failure to pass the examination during the term of the traineeship does not constitute hardship.
