ABR RP Trustee Statement
- Waiver for Part 1 Employment Requirement
- Reminder of Application Submission Deadline
Date: July 29, 2010
The ABR has become aware that because of current economic circumstances many recent graduates are experiencing difficulty finding employment in medical physics. Because of this situation, the ABR is waiving the requirement for employment in medical physics as a condition for taking Part 1 effective immediately. All other Part 1 requirements remain in effect.
The requirement for clinical experience prior to taking Part 2 remains unchanged.
Please note also that the deadline for submitting complete applications for the 2011 written examinations in Radiologic Physics is September 30, 2010. With the exception of the Special Circumstances category, applications received after that date will be returned to the candidate unopened with the next opportunity for submission being in July 2011 under the requirements in place for the 2012 examinations.
