AbstractID: 8124 Title: The Role of Task Group 127 in Maintenance of Certification
The Role of Task Group 127 in Maintenance of Certification
Unlike most Task Groups within the AAPM that establish and publish
technical or procedural guidelines, Task Group 127 (TG127) was initiated to
address the needs of AAPM members undertaking Maintenance of Certification
(MOC) as required by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) and the American
Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). TG 127 serves as a resource to the ABR
Physics Trustees and AAPM members.
In an advisory role to the Physics
Trustees, TG 127 provides information and suggestions on activities that meet
MOC requirements. Additionally, TG 127 is aggressively developing activities
within the AAPM structure to assist AAPM members in meeting the MOC
requirements. The membership of TG 127 represents all disciplines of Medical
Physics and includes both voluntary and involuntary MOC participants. Many of
the recently implemented changes
to the ABR’s MOC requirements have
originated from the AAPM membership, and AAPM members are encouraged to
contact TG 127 to address any concerns or provide suggestions for
improvements.
