The ARC ABR Written Physics Review Course has been updated!
ARC has modified the course. What are the modifications?
- The course is more INTENSE!
ARC’s 2 day course will be entering its eight year. The ARC pass rate for those years has ranged between 79% - 90%. (far exceeding the national average pass rate which hovers in the 60% area). Some have said, the course is already intense. It is. However, we have now incorporated some relaxation and learning tools developed by leading educators to maximize memorization skills. This will be incorporated. I will note that memorization is not my goal. I want you to understand the material, apply it in the clinic and Save More Lifes. End Story.
- The course is more MILITANT!
Regardless if you support the military or not, the military has mastered training techniques. Millions of dollars went into the research to formulate the best training
techniques. I was fortunate enough to have trained in Airborne, Air Assault, and Ranger units. This course is not for those who don’t want to pass.
- The course will have a DYNAMIC FORUM!
The forum will become:
1) More Calculation Problems covering:
a. Part I type questions. (general physics, circuits, diagnostic, radiation safety)
b. Shielding questions.
c. MU calculation questions.
d. Brachytherapy questions.
2) Interactive: The forum which has always been the student’s forum for their use will have guidelines and will be now monitored by ARC.
- We will actively:
a. Post more quizzes and calculation problems.
b. Identify new areas and post new pages. Most board organizations wait 3 years
for a new technology before posting a question. We will not chance this and post new pages for study when a technology is first released and for those being researched. Unfortunately, this will add extensively to the amount of material that one needs to know. However, we will present it in a fun and clinical way to keep your interest.
c. Provide summaries of the newest technologies.
I have been honored to have worked with some excellent professionals in this field. I will not change ARC’s mission which is to educate with a clinical angle in the attempt to
SAVE MORE LIFES.
With passion,
Brent D. Murphy, MS, DABR
President, ARC
