Abstract
In order to independently supervise the medical use of byproduct material, physicists in the United States (US) must legally meet the qualifications defined by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in the 35th part of the tenth title of the Code of Federal Regulations (§ 10 CFR Part 35). The American Board of Radiology (ABR) relinquished its NRC-recognized specialty board (NSB) status at the end of 2023, which eliminated the NSB application pathway for those who earn ABR certification in 2024 and beyond. While these changes in NSB status are not retroactive and will not affect eligibility for diplomates who already possess certificates, these changes will nonetheless have repercussions for those individuals who regularly provide training and experience (T&E) attestations to the NRC, such as residency program directors, brachytherapy rotation preceptors, or radiation safety officers. This article will focus on the repercussions for new authorized medical physicist and radiation safety officer applicants with ABR certificates to be conferred in 2024 and later.
为了独立监督副产品材料的医疗用途，美国（US）的物理学家必须合法地满足核管理委员会（NRC）在联邦法规法典第10卷第35部分（§10 CFR part 35）中定义的资格。美国放射学委员会（ABR）在2023年底放弃了其nrc认可的专业委员会（NSB）地位，这就取消了2024年及以后获得ABR认证的人申请NSB的途径。虽然NSB状态的这些变化不具有追溯力，也不会影响已经拥有证书的外交官的资格，但这些变化仍然会对那些定期向NRC提供培训和经验（T&E）认证的个人产生影响，例如住院医师项目主任，近距离治疗轮转导师或辐射安全官员。本文将重点讨论将在2024年及以后授予ABR证书的新授权医学物理学家和辐射安全干事申请人的影响。
期刊介绍：
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics is an international Open Access publication dedicated to clinical medical physics. JACMP welcomes original contributions dealing with all aspects of medical physics from scientists working in the clinical medical physics around the world. JACMP accepts only online submission.
JACMP will publish:
-Original Contributions: Peer-reviewed, investigations that represent new and significant contributions to the field. Recommended word count: up to 7500.
-Review Articles: Reviews of major areas or sub-areas in the field of clinical medical physics. These articles may be of any length and are peer reviewed.
-Technical Notes: These should be no longer than 3000 words, including key references.
-Letters to the Editor: Comments on papers published in JACMP or on any other matters of interest to clinical medical physics. These should not be more than 1250 (including the literature) and their publication is only based on the decision of the editor, who occasionally asks experts on the merit of the contents.
-Book Reviews: The editorial office solicits Book Reviews.
-Announcements of Forthcoming Meetings: The Editor may provide notice of forthcoming meetings, course offerings, and other events relevant to clinical medical physics.
-Parallel Opposed Editorial: We welcome topics relevant to clinical practice and medical physics profession. The contents can be controversial debate or opposed aspects of an issue. One author argues for the position and the other against. Each side of the debate contains an opening statement up to 800 words, followed by a rebuttal up to 500 words. Readers interested in participating in this series should contact the moderator with a proposed title and a short description of the topic
