Graduate Certificate in General Radiological Medical Physics at University of Kentucky

Entry requirements

Programme-specific requirements: Alternative pathway candidates must hold a PhD degree in Physics or other closely related scientific discipline such as Engineering. To become eligible for certification by the American Board of Radiology (ABR), these candidates must complete a 2 year Medical Physics residency program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP). To become eligible to apply for accredited residency programs, alternative pathway candidates must complete the core Radiological Physics curriculum from an institution accredited by CAMPEP. Our graduate certificate in General Radiological Medical Physics meets these requirements and was accredited by CAMPEP in 2015 for the purpose of providing residency eligibility for alternative pathway candidates. Students that matriculate into the certificate are eligible to register for Part I of the ABR exam in Medical Physics. Course work is structured such that the certificate could be completed in one year but must be completed within five years. Graduate School requirements apply (not programme-specific): see the Graduate School admission requirements.
