The medical physics expert (MPE) should be involved in radiotherapy, should be available in nuclear medicine practices and should be involved, as appropriate, in other radiological practices. European Union Member States should ensure that MPEs have adequate theoretical and practical training for the purpose of radiological practices, as well as relevant competence in radiation protection. Due to this reason Member States shall ensure that appropriate curricula was established and shall recognise the corresponding diplomas, certificates or formal qualifications. The main objective of the EUTEMPE-RX project is to provide training courses that allows the medical physicist in radiology and interventional radiology to reach the expert level. The EUTEMPE-RX project courses successfully started this year, and it is planed that all the modules will be repeated in the future.
