Re: The Health Physics Profession

Your comments make some very broad generalizations......

Exactly how many unqualified HP's have you observed working currently 
in the field?

You bring up the old point which was soundly beaten a couple of 
months ago in which this topic was discussed.  The conclusion of the 
debate was that certification or lack thereof neither made a person more 
competent nor less competent.

With all due respect for the Health Physics Society and the 
certification process, there are many HP jobs that can be performed 
superbly with a BS or  MS in Health Physics and some work 
experience.
