Provide consultation on regulatory language to implement professional licensure 2. Recognition of the profession of medical physics through regulation. a. Support the formation and activities of state committee focused on the regulatory approach b. Provide model regulation c. Provide consultation on regulatory language to implement professional licensure d. Collaborate with the CRCPD Subcommittee 3. Annually prepare status of subcommittees' activities.
