AbstractID: 12038 Title: Licensure and the practicing medical physicist:AAPM
Licensure Regulations Guidance Document
AAPM has made a significant commitment of priorities and resources to advance
licensure in the 46 states that do not presently license medical physicists. Pending federal
legislation may motivate States to implement licensure on a short timetable.
The AAPM Licensure Regulations Guidance Document is among the significant steps in
this effort completed by the Joint Medical Physics Licensure Sub-Committee (JMPLSC).
This document was created modeled after the licensure laws in Texas, New York and
Florida.
This session will review the big picture of how licensure is accomplished, and how
licensure will affect the practicing medical physicist. Key provisions of the Guidance
document will be presented with an emphasis on practical implementation issues.
