Abstract
Editorial ‐ A Professional Doctorate Degree in Medical Physics
Highlights
The training of medical physicists is one of the “hot button” topics currently making the rounds in the North American medical physics community
The JACMP, which has a worldwide audience of clinical medical physicists, is an appropriate vehicle for presenting a discussion of this nature
Upon completion of this program, the graduate has both the competency and the experience to sit for appropriate certification examinations, in particular, the examinations in various branches of radiological physics offered by the American Board of Radiology (ABR)
Summary
The training of medical physicists is one of the “hot button” topics currently making the rounds in the North American medical physics community. The medical physics PD degree involves the satisfactory completion of a program consisting of didactic course work along with intensive clinical training. Prior to entering such a residency program, a medical physics trainee must have adequate didactic instruction, which is normally provided by approximately two years of formal instruction and typically leads to a master’s degree.
