CAMPEP Policy Statements:
Medical Physics Exam Future Requirements:

2014 Initiative:

An additional rule will affect those applying for the first time in 2013 or later to take Part 1 in 2014 or later; they must have completed a CAMPEP-accredited residency program before being eligible to take the Part 2 examination in medical physics. To ensure compliance with the new CAMPEP accreditation requirements, audits are being performed for a large percentage of the pool of new candidates.

ABR procedures require application submission by October 31 of the year before the examination. Each candidate's CAMPEP residency director must attest that the candidate has had appropriate didactic and clinical training to take the Part 2 and Part 3 examinations. The residency director must also designate a field (diagnostic medical physics, nuclear medical physics, or therapeutic medical physics) in which the candidate is prepared to take the examination.

This policy is subject to amendment. Candidates and diplomates are advised to check the ABR website periodically for the most current version.
