| Accreditations in Medical Physics |
Why are medical physicists accredited?Medical Physicists are accredited for the purpose of ensuring standards of safety, quality assurance and regulatory compliance are met. Individual accreditationsAccreditations in Medical Physics are provided by the ACPSEM in three specialities: Radiation Oncology, Radiology and Nuclear Medicine. Each of these specialties has an accreditation panel that assess applications for accreditation against standards set by the relevant specialty group. Organisation accreditationsThe ACPSEM accredits univerity courses that provide education in Medical Physics and clinical departments that provide training in Medical Physics. International applicantsRecognition of prior learning is being developed by the ACPSEM. At this stage each specialty has their own policy regarding accreditation of internationally trained medical physicists. Essentially this means that an international applicant will be required to sit a practical exam for those specialties that require a practical exam. There may also be a requirement to submit a portfolio of work and/or sit a written exam or two or, in some cases, provide sufficient evidence of equivalency as may be required. Accreditation Panel ChairsThe Chairs of the Accreditation Panels are members of the Professional Standards Board.
