Dosimetry Board Review Courses (MDCB)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Thank you for expressing an interest in the review courses conducted by ARC, GPS, Global Physics Solutions / Advanced Radiotherapy Consulting. I will attempt in this cover letter to explain the philosophy and modality in which these courses are conducted. Included in this mailing are an application, course schedule, and general course outline. The outline is subject to change consistent with the changing test criteria of the AAMD, ABR, and ABMP.

The demands placed on the medical dosimetrists and medical physicists today are ever increasing; diverse yet specialized at the same time. With the managed health care environment not allowing most institutions to operate at adequate staffing, the ability to find ample study time becomes more and more challenging. The intent of GPS / ARC is to fill this void by providing no-nonsense intense instruction with accompanying study guides. In a sense, GPS / ARC will have done the homework for you. Several schools have put on review board courses and have failed to provide the necessary focus to ensure students are adequately prepared to PASS their boards. Our philosophy for preparing students adequately is based on:

  • Organized Study Notes
  • Connecting the Physics to the Clinical Application
  • Thoroughness
  • Test Rehearsals

The distinction of certification is most definitely a discriminator. The American College of Radiology recognizes competent dosimetrists or physicists as those who are Board Certified. We both know that experience is equally if not more important, however, certification does have several advantages. Physicists / Dosimetrists that are board certified are paid on the average in order of $5,000 to $10,000 more annually. Although some may view the GPS / ARC courses are premium priced, the payback could be less than one year. GPS / ARC courses are premium priced. Why take the exam more than once or attend several other review courses that have not worked for you in the past? Time is money. Let us do the work for you. In many cases, your institute would pay for the course or a portion thereof. Administrators and Physicians need to be aware of the importance of certification. If you would like me to write or talk to these individuals for you, do not hesitate to call me. I look forward to working with you in the future.
