In September of 2011, the MDCB Certification Exam will move from a paper and pencil to a computer-based test format. The computer-based test format requires a large number of items or questions to deliver multiple test forms to candidates. To assist in the expansion of the item bank, the MDCB is seeking support from the radiation oncology community, Certified Medical Dosimetrists, Physicists and Radiation Oncologists to join an Item Writing Committee and assist in the development of test questions.

Interested individuals must complete an application. Item writers selected will be required to participate in several item writing webinars throughout the year and submit questions in accordance with established deadlines. Additionally, members of the Item Writing Committee will be guided by the MDCB Ethical Standards, Confidentiality Agreement and Conflict of Interest Agreement.
