Review Courses provide a good review of medical physics for physicists entering the specialty, physicists in need of continuing education credits, and physicists who would benefit from a refresher course taught by experts in the field. The courses will be held concurrently on Saturday and Sunday and will be in-person only. The review courses will be submitted to the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs, Inc. (CAMPEP) for MPCEC Credits and to the American Board of Radiology (ABR) for self-assessment CE (SA-CE). Must attend all presentations listed under each SAM (below) in order to be eligible for SAM credit. Course fees can be found here.
