Thank you for making that video packed with information! Could you comment on the experience attestation form and who to pick as a supervisor, etc? Does it need to cover several years? Thank you very much in advance,
Thank you. Since I was not trained "under the supervision of a medical physicist who is certified in medical physics", I went with the option you mention; i.e. having experience "in clinical nuclear medicine facilities providing diagnostic and/or therapeutic services under the direction of physicians who meet the requirements for authorized users in 10CFR35.290 and 10CFR35.390, and who will provide a letter of reference attesting to the candidate’s experience and competency." I picked our nuclear medicine division director for this, and asked him to support me, which he did, and I drafted a letter by him making the exact needed statements, and it was just fine.
Thankyou sir for the wonderful information. Sir, my query is that, I am from India, am I eligible to appear for the exam? I am currently pursuing my Masters degree
Thanks. It is entirely possible for a person to take this exam with a masters degree (and not PhD). Specific requirements are here: www.absnm.org/examinations-and-certification.html Details depend on which of the 3 specialty exams you are taking, so look carefully in the link above at how much practical training and/or supervised experience you will need (pay attention to 'and' / 'or' statements).
Thank you for sharing this valuable information!
