Learning objectives There is a strong demand for new education and training courses in medical physics e.g. as the rapid development of medical techniques based on ionising radiation, the growth of hospitals and the continuous need to produce competent health professionals in medical physics all require competently trained medical physicists. The European Board for Accreditation in Medical Physics (EBAMP) has been set up by medical physics societies across Europe to accredit medical physics education and training events by allocating continuous professional development...
Read more Background Altogether 246 accredited events were organized between 12/2016–12/2024. These events were categorized into fields of clinical medical physics: 1) radiology, 2) radiotherapy, 3) nuclear medicine, and 4) mixed (cross-discipline events) and their target audience categorized by European qualifications framework (EQF) for lifelong learning. EQF level 6 courses are generally for entrants to the profession – some are MSc course modules or generalised vendor-based courses. EQF level 7 events allow physicists working towards medical physics expert (MPE) status to gain knowledge...
Read more Findings and procedure details EBAMP has accredited 68 courses, conferences, webinars or seminars in radiology. For comparison, there were 99 radiotherapy-related events, 20 nuclear medicine related events and 59 mixed events. Most common types of events have been courses and then conferences, with most CPDs on average granted from courses and then from seminars. The average number of CPDs granted in the field of radiology was 53; more than in the other fields. For comparison, the average number of CPDs per event was 32...
Read more Conclusion The number of accredited events organized for MPPs working in the field of radiology is moderate, and most of the events are organized in English. There is a trend towards more compact and focused events, while accreditation of more general radiology events like events within the ECR could be accredited.
