KMPCB
The Korean Medical Physicists Certification Board (KMPCB) was established in January 2015 to standardize and internationalize the qualification and certification process for medical physicists.
As a board accredited by the International Medical Physics Certification Board (IMPCB), KMPCB is responsible for certifying the qualifications of clinical medical physicists in the fields of radiation oncology and nuclear medicine. Since its inception, KMPCB has been supported by three key organizations in Korea: the Korean Society of Medical Physics (KSMP), the Korean Society for Radiation Oncology (KOSRO), and the Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine (KSNM). I extend my sincere appreciation for their continued support and collaboration.
As of December 2024, KMPCB has awarded certification to 44 medical physicists, converted 45 KMPCB-equivalent (KMPCB-E) certificates into regular certifications, and recognized one IMPCB-certified professional. Consequently, the total number of KMPCB-certified medical physicists has reached 90, a figure that is expected to continue increasing in the years ahead.
With the rapid advancement of science and technology, radiation medicine continues to evolve, playing an indispensable role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. As a fundamental discipline within this field, medical physics is of increasing significance. In this context, KMPCB certification serves as a critical standard, ensuring excellence in clinical medical physics and further strengthening its role in the advancement of radiation medicine.
