Go to Meet the Expert interview series
In 2023 we will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) and this year’s International Day of Medical Physics (November 2023) will celebrate the following theme: “IOMP’s 60th Anniversary: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants.” It is important to look back and draw inspiration, because the tireless efforts of every member contribute to the strength and success of any organization or community.
AFOMP, as a regional member of IOMP, will also take this opportunity to recognize the contribution of our own medical physics giants. The new generation of medical physicists in the region may not be aware of the humble beginnings and how the work of many brought us to the present day where many of our member countries have university programs and some sort of certification process for medical physicists. To celebrate the contribution of our medical physicists, AFOMP is starting a series of interviews with our own giants of the region. These interviews will be presented and documented on the AFOMP website and in the AFOMP Newsletter “AFOMP PULSE”. This will also create historical archives of AFOMP.
