Requirements and Application
Last verified on June 28, 2017
Requirements
To be eligible for Part 1 on a new application, you must be enrolled in and in good standing with, or have graduated from, a CAMPEP-accredited program (graduate program, doctorate in medical physics [DMP] program, certificate program, or medical physics residency). New applicants should review the
ABR Audit Standards Policy for Initial Certification in Medical Physics.
Note: CAMPEP has a service for review of individual courses. This is not the same thing as a CAMPEP-accredited certificate program and is not an acceptable credential for admission to the Part 1 Exam in medical physics.
Application
Applications for the Part 1 exam are accepted between September 1 and October 31 for the following year’s exam. The 2018 exam application is available

If approved, you will receive an invitation via email approximately two months prior to the exam. The invitation will include the date that registration at Pearson VUE will open and the due date for the exam payment (if applicable).
