Examination Content

The links below provide access to the Examination Content Syllabi. These documents are designed to help prospective examinees identify the major topics of interest likely to be included on the certification examinations.

Please note that while the core Examination Content Syllabus remains the same for the MRMD and MRSE examinations, specialized syllabi are now available for MRSO and MRST candidates. The primary differences among the examinations focus on the relative depth of knowledge required for various topics and the specific emphasis of those topics within each level of certification.

For example, the MRMD examination features a far greater focus on the GBCA section than the MRSE examination, whereas the depth of underlying physics knowledge will be significantly greater for the MRSE than for the MRSO.
