Certification in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Physics
The American Board of Medical Physics announces a new examination pathway for MRI Scientists. The new Part 1 multiple choice examination will not require an intimate understanding of radiation therapy physics or x-ray imaging physics. Instead, the examination will be more focused on the candidate's basic knowledge in areas more relevant to clinical MRI including electronics, chemistry, biochemistry and biophysics. Candidates seeking certification in MRI physics who have come through a traditional medical physics program will still be allowed to use completion of the traditional ABMP Part 1 (General Medical Physics) examination or the Part One examination administered by the American College of Radiology as part of the certification process.
2007 Certification Testing Schedule
The American Board of Medical Physics will hold its MRI Physics written examinations for 2007 in conjunction with the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Meeting in Minneapolis, MN
. Deadline for the receipt of applications for these tests is May 1, 2007.
