To answer your question we refer you to this website that describes an "alternative pathway" for experienced international medical physicists who wish to become certified by the American Board of Radiology:

This letter to the editor of JACMP may be of interest, although it applies specifically to diagnostic imaging physics, not therapy physics:

My cousin is worried about cancer since his daughter is scheduled for a head CT soon? How can I convince him that the head CT dose would not lead to cancer?
I recently had a brain aneurysm treated, the first treatment included stents and coils and had around 2140 mgy of radiation. Recently, about 6 months later I had an angiogram and they saw coil compaction and added more coils, with the second treatment having around 2100 mgy. My question is, from these did I increase my cancer risk significantly?
