Certification Name : Medical Physics
Certification ID & Type: 0258 – B – Advanced
Certification Description
Medical physicists are concerned with three areas of activity: clinical service and consultation, research and development, and teaching. On the average their time is distributed equally among these three areas. Many medical physicists are heavily involved with responsibilities in areas of diagnosis and treatment, often with specific patients. Medical physicists play a vital and often leading role on the medical research team. Their activities cover wide frontiers, including such key areas as cancer, heart disease, and mental illness. Often medical physicists have faculty appointments at universities and colleges, where they help train future medical physicists, resident physicians, medical students, and technologists who operate the various types of equipment used to perform diagnosis and treatment.
