Continuing Education Overview

The AAMD CE Center aims to offer a variety of continuing education (CE) opportunities for medical dosimetrists to maintain their CMD through MDCB. The AAMD and the MDCB are two separate organizations, with two different purposes. The MDCB is the credentialing organization responsible for establishing certification and continuing education standards to enhance quality patient care.  

The AAMD offers continuing education designed to enhance your knowledge, improve your performance, and satisfy your re-certification requirements. The CE activities offered through the AAMD are available as follows:

• Directed Journal Readings: selected Medical Dosimetry articles are available as online self-paced activities with a quiz for CE credit(s).
• Recorded Presentations: recorded presentations offered for online viewing with a quiz for CE credit. 
• Virtual Meetings: recorded annual or regional meeting presentations offered for online viewing with a quiz for CE credit. NOTE: Any attendee who was present during the live meeting presentation can view the ‘virtual meeting’ but will not receive additional credit.
• Live Webinars: live online presentations during which attendees can submit questions and comments with a quiz for CE credit. These webinars are available as Recorded Presentations after the live events. A quiz needs to be completed for CE credits.
