Medical Physicists after completion of a CAMPEP*-accredited graduate program
(such as ours here at OHSU), and subsequent completion of a two year
CAMPEP-accredited residency, (similar to physician education with separate
didactic and clinical elements required to complete training). *Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education
