CAMPEP Accreditation of Graduate Programs

CAMPEP offers accreditation of graduate educational programs in medical physics. The goal is to ensure that a graduate program provides rigorous and thorough education such that program graduates are equipped with the appropriate skills to pursue a career in medical physics.

The Process of CAMPEP accreditation of graduate programs requires that the program submits a self assessment report giving evidence of consistency with a set of clearly stated guidelines. After review of this report, a survey team will conduct a program site visit to validate the assessment. If successful, accreditation is granted for a period of 5 years. Re-accreditation requires an updated self assessment report.

Graduate Education Program Review Committee (GEPRC)

This CAMPEP committee is responsible for managing the accreditation of graduate programs and appointing a Survey Team from within the GEPRC for each application. The survey team consists of senior medical physicists with experience in both clinical practice and educational programs as well as a physician. .All members of the GEPRC and the program survey teams act for CAMPEP on a volunteer basis. A fee is charged for each application and re-application to cover the incidental costs of the accreditation process, including travel expenses related to the site visit.

To facilitate the application process, guidelines are available for download from this web page. In addition, an application template is available from the link on the left hand panel. A right mouse click on the link will enable a copy of the template to be saved to your local disc.
