Improving Health Through Medical Physics
About us
The mission of AAPM is advancing medicine through excellence in the science, education and professional practice of medical physics; a broad-based scientific and professional discipline which encompasses physical principles with applications in biology and medicine. With over 9500 members in 94 countries, AAPM supports the Medical Physics community with a focus on advancing patient care through education, improving safety and efficacy of radiation oncology and medical imaging procedures through research, and the maintenance of professional standards. AAPM publishes two scholarly journals Medical Physics, and the Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics (JACMP), as well as an AAPM Report Series. AAPM sponsors three scientific meetings each year, a spring clinical meeting, a main summer annual meeting, and a fall scientific meeting (joint with the Radiological Society of North America).

Join the AAPM Webinar: How to Fund a Research Idea, today at noon. Surveys have shown that most medical physicists say they enjoy doing research, but most of us have clinical positions with only a small amount of effort dedicated to research. Beyond the lack of protected time to do research, the next biggest hurdle for most junior or clinical medical physicists is the lack of funding resources available to cover the costs of their research projects. This webinar will describe funding resources readily available to help move a physicist’s research idea into a funded research project. Register from the webinars page: https://lnkd.in/gXFq3jfY
