NAMP CLINICAL TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION BOARD (NCCB) In June 2024, the NCCB announced the commencement of the first phase of the National Board Certification for Clinical Medical Physicists in the country. After 2 years of planning, months and days of meetings, we are happy to be here. This is a major milestone for Medical Physics in Nigeria. The association in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Federal Ministry of Health, Nigeria had in the past coordinated a Medical Physics residency program for medical physicists which later became defunct. Since then efforts have been made and is still being made to resuscitate the residency program albeit the challenges facing the profession in Nigeria. This National Certification is a significant achievement geared towards ensuring that Radiation Medicine in Nigeria is practised safely and efficiently. Qualified Medical Physicists are a critical and essential part of the multidisciplinary team whose roles and responsibilities spread through the entire clinical work flow including training of Radiation professionals. The national certification is in collaboration with the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM), American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL PHYSICS CERTIFICATION BOARD (IMPCB).

Nigerian Association of Medical Physicists (NAMP)
Hospitals and Health Care
Promoting the application of the methods and concepts of physics in medicine, biology, industry, teaching and research.
About us
We are a world-class regulatory body for the activities of Medical Physics in Nigeria, founded in 1986 with just 8 members but has now grown to almost 200 members. Most of our members currently work in Radiotherapy, Radiology and Nuclear Medicine departments in government and private hospitals. The objectives of the association are but not limited to the following: i. To promote and develop to the highest standards, the application of the methods and concepts of physics in medicine, biology and related sciences through clinical services, education and research ii. To encourage professional interest in training and safety in the application of physics in medicine. iii. To prepare and disseminate technical information, scholarships, scientific resources related to medical physics and related fields to members. iv. To promote cooperation in scientific research, development and education within the field of medical physics. v. To promote scientific exchanges on medical physics and related fields of science. vi. To recommend standards for education, training and accreditation programmes within the field of medical physics. vii. To initiate and/or support in approved centres and institutions, research and educational programs in medical physics. viii. To promote certification of medical physicists. ix. To develop the field of medicine and healthcare in the country through the application of concepts of physics. x. To be the voice of Nigerian medical physicists in the international community.

NAMP was established in 1986! Do you know that the first NAMP scientific conference was held on the 5th & 6th February 1987 at the University of Lagos while the second edition was held at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in 1988 (25th - 26th February)? What edition do you think this year’s conference in Abuja will be? Tell us in the comments. #triviasaturday Nigerian Association of Medical Physicists (NAMP)
