The Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine (CCPM) was established in 1979 to recognize proven competence in physics as applied to medicine. Candidates with suitable educational background and experience become members of the college by completing an examination process. CCPM certification is becoming widely accepted in Canada and other countries and is often required at senior levels in medical physics.
Certification
Individuals seeking certification from CCPM must meet certain requirements. Applicants for Membership must hold a suitable graduate degree and must meet a minimum requirement of two years for patient-related work experience. If the requirements are met, the applicant must then successfully complete the examination process, after which he or she will be elected to Membership of the College.
