The American Board of Medical Physics was established in 1987. The ABMP certifies physicists and related scientists to practice clinical medical physics. Currently, two primary certificates and one secondary certificate are offered in the field of radiological sciences. These are:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Physics
The ABMP tests the candidate's experience and knowledge in the areas of MRI technology, clinical magnetic resonance methodologies and safe MRI practice.
For the candidate who is already certified in MRI Physics and/or Radiation Oncology Physics, the ABMP further tests the knowledge and experience in the application of MRI to Radiation Therapy.
