The roles and responsibilities of medical physicists in health care are required a specific training and techniques in order to provide safe and reliable usage of diagnostic and therapeutic radiation

It has been a training residency for medical physicists in nuclear medicine field was hold in King Faisal Specialist hospital in Riyadh for two years in cooperation with ministry of health. The medical physicist residents have been exposed to the clinical environment, radiobiology laboratory, radiation protection, cyclotron production, research projects and education ethics, they could work without supervision and being creative in their jobs independently

The training residency for medical physicists in nuclear medicine field program needs a professional body in order to recognize the participants in clinical activities as CCQMP in nuclear medicine specialty. In addition, it is recommended to have a designed program includes rotation between institutions and applied it around Saudi Arabia to reduce the limitations; the shortage of expertise as nuclear medicine clinical qualified
