Professional Resources
There are a large
number of professional organizations and resources that are important
to the development of medical physics and other radiological sciences
as professions. Students are encouraged to become familiar and
participate in these functions from the beginning of their graduate
education. These functions include professional accreditation,
professional licensing, radiation instrument calibration, standards
of practice and many others.
