1) Describe the physics components of the ABR Core exam. 2) Discuss the methods of creating and vetting a physics question from a medical physicist perspective. 3) Explain effective methods of preparing for medical physics content.
Physics represents the largest percentage of questions in the Core Exam, with representative questions in each column of the grid on basic medical physics, underlying principles of medical physics applicable to the specific area of radiology, safety, effective use, and artifacts. Continuously using medical physics understanding and principles in routine practice throughout the residency will be the best preparation for the exam, but supplemental use of additional resources such as the RSNA/AAPM physics modules is discussed.
