Certification Requirements

This certification is essentially awarded via an application process that will review your credentials and experience and determine whether to award certification. Basically, you can send them your resume and the "Board of Standards" will determine if you are qualified. The certification, once you are accepted, is free for one year but will require that you cough up $300 per year to keep your good standing with AAMP.
There is an online exam that can also be taken to determine your level of PM knowledge, although it is not required for certification.
You can find the online application and more information on the AAPM website.
