The 24th Asia-Oceania Congress of Medical Physics (AOCMP) in conjunction with 22nd South-East Asia Congress of Medical Physics (SEACOMP) will be held at The Wembley – A St Giles Hotel, Penang, Malaysia from 10th to 13th October 2024.
AOCMP and SEACOMP are both important annual events of medical physics in the region. The objective is to gather the medical physics and allied health professionals in the region for the sharing of knowledge, expertise, scientific discussions, cultural exchange and medical technologies updates. The theme of this congress is “Revolutionising Patient Care Through Medical Physics”.
We have curated a comprehensive scientific program featuring orations, presentations by eminent speakers, oral paper presentations, poster sessions, lunch symposiums, panel discussions, and pre-congress workshops. This program spans across various disciplines in medical physics, including diagnostic and interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, radiation protection, radiobiology, artificial intelligence, and emerging techniques. Participants will also have ample opportunities to engage with diverse industrial partners through a trade exhibition held throughout the congress.
Nestled on the northwest coast of Malaysia, Penang, often referred to as the “Pearl of the Orient,” is a captivating blend of rich cultural heritage, historical significance, and modern vibrancy. Renowned for its UNESCO-listed George Town, the capital city, Penang seamlessly intertwines traditional charm with contemporary urban life. The island’s natural beauty is equally enchanting, with pristine beaches, lush hills, and a welcoming atmosphere that make Penang a truly unique and captivating destination for both locals and international visitors. The island is easily accessible through air travel, road trips and ferry rides.
