I am trained and work as Biomedical Engineer – do I have to specify this sub-modality or can I register under the global Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering modality?
You register with HPC under your selected Modality. You register as a Clinical Scientist though your modality is recorded on the HPC database. They do not record your sub-modality. However, to be assessed by the ACS and HPC you must select one of the sub-modalities if one exists. Only in this way can you be assessed in your specific work. Otherwise you could apply for jobs in any form of Medical Physics – e.g. Radiation Physics – without adequate training and experience. ACS will record your details under your sub-modality if one exists. Once registered with HPC you do not need to re-register if you subsequently change modalities or sub-modalities as your career progresses – you are expected to ensure you meet the requirements of the new role – see elsewhere.
