Policy Statement:
Medical Physics Exam Future Requirements
Addendum to 2002 Policy
Updated March 2010

Two new requirements address eligibility to take the ABR initial certification examination in medical physics with linkage to CAMPEP-accredited education programs starting in 2012. This policy statement was developed by the Medical Physics Trustees as a follow-up to the August 17, 2007, ABR/CAMPEP Summit in Dallas, Texas. The policy as recommended was approved by the full ABR Board of Trustees on October 13, 2007.

2012 Initiative:

Candidates taking the American Board of Radiology Part 1 examination in medical physics for the first time in 2012 or later must be enrolled in or have graduated from a CAMPEP-accredited education program (e.g., MS, PhD, or residency). If a candidate has graduated from the CAMPEP-accredited education program at the time of application, they must be working as a medical physicist as specified on the ABR website .

2014 Initiative:

Candidates taking Part 1 for the first time in 2014 or later also must have completed a CAMPEP-accredited residency program before being eligible to take the Part 2 examination in Medical Physics.

ABR procedures require application submission by October 31 of the year before the examination.

This policy is subject to amendment.

Candidates and diplomates are advised to check the ABR website periodically for the most current version.
