Point/counterpoint. Medical physics graduate programs should adjust enrollment to achieve equilibrium between graduates and residents.

摘要

Beginning in 2014, to be eligible for American Board of Radiology (ABR) certification, candidates must have completed a Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Educational Programs (CAMPEP) accredited residency program. Currently the number of available accredited residency positions is substantially lower than the number of students graduating from medical physics graduate programs, however, and it has been suggested that enrollment in graduate programs should be adjusted to be proportional to the number of residency openings. This is the premise debated in this month's Point/Counterpoint.
