In the Future, We need to … Obtain accreditation from an International board
Adoption of Medical Physics professional licensure • the Ministry of Science & Technology
• the Ministry of Health and Welfare
•Two-Step QualificationMP• MP
• Qualified MP
CPT code for MP’s work in hospital
Offer specialized accreditation of medical physics
