Per the CCPM Regulations and College Bylaws, CCPM certification is contingent upon maintaining COMP membership in good standing. This page explains how COMP membership affects CCPM certification, including renewal, inactivity, reinstatement, and retirement.
COMP membership is valid January 1 – December 31 each year.
| Period | Dates | CCPM Certification Status | Member Action(s) Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Renewal Period | December 1 – April 30 | Active | Renew or purchase COMP membership for the upcoming membership year. |
| Grace Period | May 1 – June 30 | Active | Members who have not yet renewed or purchased a COMP membership, this is your final opportunity to do so before being marked as inactive. |
| Inactive | July 1 | Inactive | Members who have not renewed their COMP membership are deemed inactive and removed from the CCPM Registry of Clinically Certified Medical Physicists. |
| After One (1) Full COMP Membership Cycle* | Lapsed Membership – Reinstatement Required | Members who remain inactive for one (1) or more full membership cycles without notifying the College may be required to complete the Membership certification process again. |
*A full COMP membership cycle means one complete membership year in which the individual did not hold COMP membership. For example, a member who held COMP membership in 2024, did not hold COMP membership in 2025, and returned as a COMP member in 2026 has missed one full membership cycle.
For full details, please review Section I of the CCPM Regulations.
Please contact the CCPM Office (info@ccpm.ca) if you have questions regarding membership status, certification, recertification, inactivity, or reinstatement.
