Dear Colleagues,

Greetings from AFOMP Pulse! It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the latest edition of AFOMP Pulse. This publication stands as a testament to our commitment to advancing the field of medical physics across the Asia-Oceania region. As we navigate through the currents of advancements in medical physics and radiation oncology, we find ourselves at the heart of innovation and progress.

As we stand at the intersection of a technological revolution in medical physics, it is crucial that we adapt our educational strategies to meet the evolving needs of our discipline. The pace of innovation in imaging, radiation therapy, and medical instrumentation is accelerating at an unprecedented rate, presenting both opportunities and challenges.

Our commitment to excellence in medical physics education requires us to embrace these advancements proactively. By integrating cutting-edge technologies into our curricula, we empower the next generation of medical physicists with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate this dynamic landscape.

Collaboration between academia, industry partners, and healthcare providers is essential to ensure that our educational programs remain relevant and responsive to emerging trends. Together, we can foster a learning environment that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.

In this pursuit, let us leverage our collective expertise and dedication to advance the frontiers of medical physics education. By staying ahead of the curve, we not only prepare our students for success but also contribute to advancements that improve patient outcomes worldwide.

This year’s theme of IDMP2024 is very aptly chosen as

Inspiring the next generation of Medical Physicists” 

Therefore, our collective efforts should be to inspire, nurture and mentor the next generation medical physicists for shaping the future of healthcare, driving excellence in patient care, research, and education across the globe including Asia-Oceania region.

The annual conference of AFOMP and SEFOMP is jointly being organised as 24th Asia-Oceania Congress of Medical Physics (AOCMP) and 22nd Southeast Asia Congress of Medical Physics (SEACOMP) at beautiful venue – Penang, Malaysia during 10- 13 October 2024. Looking forward to your active participation for this important conference. For further information visit the conference website https://www.aocmp2024.com/

Together, we amplify our voices to inspire and collaborate, ensuring that each pulse of AFOMP resonates with purpose and impact. Let us continue to harness the power of knowledge and technology, forging ahead to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

In unity and dedication for growth of medical physics.
