Its membership is open to science graduates, engineers and Secretary Dr. Shobha Jayaprakash physicians interested in the application of physics to medical and biological sciences. Treasurer Mr. Sridhar Sahoo Medical Radiation Physicists, Radiation Safety Members Dr. Anuj Kumar Tyagi Officers, Radiological and Hospital Physicists, Radiation Oncologists and Radiologists form Dr. Kovilpillai Joseph Maria Das the main group of the association. It publishes Dr. Ghanshyam Sahani this quarterly journal. The association is having about 1200 active members. The Dr. Varadharajan Ekambaram journal is provided to its members and also Dr. Muthuvelu Kulandaivel to the libraries of almost all leading Cancer Centres in the country on a very nominal Mr. Rajesh Thiyagarajan subscription. Other than publishing Journal of Medical Physics, the association holds a Mr. Suresh Chaudhari national/ international conference every year Dr. Godson Henry Finlay to exchange information among its members. The association also supports advanced Dr. Vinod Kumar Dangwal training of Medical Physicists by offering Travel Mr. Vinod Pandey Fellowships. For public awareness, publication of articles related to medical physics and Prof. Challapalli Srinivas radiation safety in newspapers and periodicals is encouraged. The association also works towards worldwide exchange of information on medical physics. The College of Medical Physics of India (CMPI) is an autonomous wing of AMPI AMPI Board of Trustees (2018-2021) which was established to function as the certifying and accreditation body. Membership Chairman Mr. Satya Pal Agarwal of AMPI is prerequisite to appear for CMPI Convener Dr. Pankaj Tandon certification examination. A member of AMPI can become member of CMPI only by passing Members Dr. Ramasamy M Nehru the certification examination. CMPI certification indicates that the holder has acquired, Dr. Kamlesh Passi demonstrated, and maintained a minimum Dr. Arun Chougule standard of knowledge in medical physics and the competence to practice as clinical physicist in Diagnostic Radiology, Radiation Oncology and Nuclear Medicine.
