AAPM Committee Tree

Activities	The charge of this Ad Hoc committee is to guide the Board as to how the AAPM can offer a consistent approach to define and affirm sub-specialization in the field of medical physics. Some specific ideas that the committee might explore are the following: Consider the current status of sub-specialized definitions offered by other organizations (e.g., ACR) Identify all existing areas of certification for medical physics-related fields (ABR, ABSNM, ABMP, etc) and their respective subspecialties Identify all existing and emerging areas needing definition – consider how deep the “sub” needs to be (eg, PET or NM in general, MR-guided therapy?) Develop a common template for each area (a template for what?) Foster the formation of sub-groups uniquely positioned to define the requirements for each subspecialty identified in Item 3 Explore how individuals can be credentialed for a sub-specialization Consider how credentialing can be enabled by, and serve as a revenue source for AAPM Consider relationship with the ABR – ABR specialty certification as the ground floor (like ABR sub-specialty certificate for added qualification in diagnostic radiology) Foster the adaptation of the definition(s) of medical physicist certification by other organizations (e.g., ACR, RSNA/QIBA, IAC, ASTRO, SNMMI, etc.)
