9.1. Entry requirements

The knowledge base and competencies of the lead physicist and other physicists of the team should comply with the European Directives (if relevant) [13] [14] and the EFOMP training recommendations [15] for the Medical Physics Expert (MPE) and the Qualified Medical Physicist (QMP) in radiation physics or radiation technology, respectively. For education and training of the QMP, it may be useful to refer also to the TEMPERE recommendations [16] and the EMERALD training course [17]. In particular, competencies addressed in EMERALD are based on EFOMP recommendations. In addition the lead physicist and other physics team members should have specialist training in mammography physics and/or breast radiotherapy physics as described in Sections 9.2 and 9.3.
