Certificate Program
The Certificate of Professional Achievement in Medical Physics is designed for medical physicists who wish to apply for certification examinations by the American Board of Radiology (ABR). Beginning in 2014, medical physicists will be required, as a prerequisite, to have completed a two-year residency in medical physics prior to taking ABR certification examinations. This non-degree, two-semester program is designed to fulfill the academic component of the medical physics residency requirement.
This program requires satisfactory completion of at least four of the following courses: APPH E4500, Health physics, APPH E4600, Fundamentals of radiological physics and radiation dosimetry, EHSC P6330, Radiobiology for medical physicists, EHSC P9319, Clinical nuclear medicine physics, EHSC P9300, Diagnostic radiological physics, EHSC P9335, Radiation therapy physics, APBM E4650, Anatomy for physicists and engineers.
Applications are available from and returned to the Office of Graduate Student Services, 524 S.W. Mudd. Students are admitted to the Department as Certificate-track Students.
