Continuing Education Credits

CAMPEP - MPCEC TRANSCRIPTS:

Application will be made to the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs, Inc. (CAMPEP) for approval of the program in order to provide medical physics continuing education credits (MPCEC) to qualified medical physicists attending the Meeting. For each hour of verified attendance (this includes symposia and proffered sessions) 1 medical physics continuing education credit (MPCEC) will be awarded.

Following the meeting, ACMP will provide CAMPEP with participant contact information, credits earned, and the appropriate processing fees in order for individual participants to access their personal 2011 ACMP Annual Meeting transcript via the CAMPEP online MPCEC Repository database. Please be advised, CAMPEP transcripts are viewable via the CAMPEP online MPCEC Repository database. Participants will not receive a hardcopy CAMPEP transcript. Should a participant need a hardcopy of the 2011 ACMP Annual Meeting transcript, an individual may order a hardcopy transcript from CAMPEP. View details here.

Note: Individuals registered as Companions are not eligible for MPCEC.

CONTINUING EDUCATION MEETING PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

      1. Review basic knowledge of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.
      2. Conduct sessions on the current state of the art and standards of practice.
      3. Provide a peer interchange forum for exchanging information and concepts.

MAINTENANCE OF CERTIFICATION (MOC) as defined by ABR:

Many ACMP members now require Maintenance of Certification (MOC) as defined by the American Board of Radiology. ACMP is offering Self-Assessment Modules (SAMs) which allow for interactive learning and self-assessment of knowledge gained during designated sessions, to be submitted for ABR approval.

Completion of two Self Assessment Modules (SAMs) per year is a requirement for the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) process as defined by the American Board of Radiology (ABR).

To assist attendees who require MOC with fulfilling their SAMs requirements, ACMP program organizers plan to offer SAMs sessions pending approval by the ABR.

Please note that the SAMs sessions are open to everyone.
