Guidelines on the standards for the training of specialised
health professionals dealing with breast cancer
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.
