States that License Medical Physicists
The information contained herein was a result of a collaborative effort between the Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors and the AAPM. Although every effort is taken to maintain the information as up to date as possible, the official information resides with the state agencies having responsibility for regulating radioactive materials and machines that produce radiation and licensure or registration of medical physicists.
AAPM and the CRCPD will continually modify the map as new information becomes available. Please send any suggestions or changes to Amanda Potter and/or Sudarshan Chamakuri.
