The Board of Directors ofthe Society decided that these recommendations had merit and appointed a temporary American Board of Health Physics on 8 November 1958.  \nThe temporary ABHP developed a set of minimum requirements for certification after carefully reviewing the professional background of 100 selected individuals believed to be representative of those recognized as competent health physicists, and submitted them to the membership of the Society for comment. At the Annual Meeting of the Society in June 1959, the matter was discussed in an open meeting and there was general support for the plan. The Board of Directors ofthe Society formally established the ABHP as an independent organization by approving an amendment to the By-Laws of the Society on 29 October 1959.  \nThe ABHP was incorporated in the State of New York in December 1960 as a non-profit educational body. The Board has eight members, with each member serving a five-year term.  \nA certification renewal program was established by the Board in 1977 to ensure the continued professional development of Certified Health Physicists (CHPs) . In 1978 the Board offered a specialty certification in power reactor health physics which was discontinued in 1993.  \nIn 1985, the American Academy of Health Physics (AAHP) was formed, and incorporated as a separate entity in 1988. The primary purpose of the Academy is to establish an organization which permits the direct input of Certified Health Physicists into the selection of Board members and to the ongoing program of the Board. In 1994, the corporate structures of the ABHP and the AAHP were consolidated under the AAHP.  \nPurposes of the Board  \nThe basic purposes of the ABHP are to:  \n1. Elevate the standards and advance the profession of health physics by encouraging its study and improving its practice  \n2. Encourage and insist on the highest standards of professional ethics and integrity in the practice of health physics  \n3. Determine the competence of professional health physicists and arrange, control, and conduct investigations and examinations to evaluate the qualifications of voluntary candidates for certification by the Board  \n4. Grant and issue certificates in the field of health physics to qualified applicants and maintain a registry of holders of such certificates  \n5. Sponsor a Certification Renewal Program, including issuance of“recertified” seals to qualified ABHP diplomates who have demonstrated their continued professional involvement in health physics.  \nMeaning of Certification  \nCertification indicates that the recipient has completed certain requirements of study and professional experience, which the Board considers to constitute an adequate foundation in health physics, and has passed an examination designed to test competence in this field. Holders ofABHP certification may identify themselves as either Certified Health Physicists (CHP) or Diplomates of the American Board of Health P","cbCaijb5XzQVe3TV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijb5XzQVe3TV","pdf",250476,"English","# History\n# Purposes of the Board\n# Meaning of Certification\n# Professional Responsibilities of Certified Health Physicists\n# General Requirements for Certification\n## Academics\n## Early Admission to Part I","[{\"question\":\"What does ABHP certification mean, and what does it not confer?\",\"answer\":\"ABHP certification indicates completion of required study and professional experience and passing an examination designed to test competence in health physics.
