Continuing Education Credits

CAMPEP

This meeting program has been approved by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs, Inc. (CAMPEP) for 19.58 credits.

Maintenance of Certification

All registrants are expected to participate in the entire program and complete a Self-Directed Educational Project (SDEP) as outlined by the Maintenance of Certification program of the American Board of Radiology.

Registrants must identify the area(s) in which improvement and/or augmentation as a medical physics teacher is needed or would be of value. The approach to a SDEP must be prospective and must be defined in advance. This part of the SDEP will be accomplished at the workshop.  The components of the SDEP include:

Guidance in preparing a SDEP to become a better teacher will be provided during the Summer School.

DVD of Audio Presentations

All paid registrants will receive a DVD ROM with audio from each session, synchronized with the .ppt presentation. Please allow 6 weeks to receive by mail post-meeting.
