Dear Colleagues,
The field of medical physics plays a vital role in modern healthcare, providing the scientific and technical foundation for the safe and effective use of radiation and other modalities in medicine. The Asia-Oceania Federation of Organizations for Medical Physics (AFOMP) Medical Physics Syllabus for Postgraduate program represents a key effort of our members, led by Professor Dr. Hasin Anupama Azhari, Vice-President AFOMP. This project started under the presidency of Prof. Dr. Arun Chougule to ensure that medical physicists across the Asia-Oceania region are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the ever-evolving demands of this dynamic field.
As medical technologies continue to advance at an unprecedented pace, combined with the fast implementation of AI technologies, the need for well-trained medical physicists has never been greater. The increasing complexity of diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, and nuclear medicine underscores the importance of a standardized, comprehensive training syllabus across our region. This syllabus serves not only as a guide for structured education but also as a tool to harmonize training standards across different countries. This ensures that patients, regardless of where they are treated, benefit from the highest standards of safety and care.
In recognition of the diverse healthcare landscapes in our region, this syllabus is designed with flexibility in mind. While various organizations within AFOMP member countries may have developed their own curricula tailored to local needs, this document aims to complement those efforts by providing a solid, foundational framework. It encourages the adoption of best practices and evidence-based approaches, fostering regional collaboration and knowledge exchange.
I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to the dedicated members of AFOMP, especially the Education and Training Committee under the leadership of Prof Dr. Jin Xiance and the members of the working group (Prof. Dr. Franco Milano, Prof. Dr. Eva Bezak, Prof. Dr. Anchali Krisanachinda, Prof. Dr. Arun Chougule, Dr. Chai Hong Yeong, Prof Dr. Jin Xiance, Prof. Dr. Golam Abu Zakaria, Prof. Dr. Sunil Dutt Sharma, Prof. Dr Hasin Anupama Azhari, Dr. Supriyanto Ardjo Pawiro, Dr. Paul Ravindran ) who have contributed their expertise, time, and passion to the creation of this syllabus. Their hard work has resulted in a document that reflects the collective wisdom of professionals who are at the forefront of medical physics in the Asia-Oceania region. This syllabus will undoubtedly contribute to the professional development of medical physicists and, ultimately, to the enhancement of patient care.
Together, we move forward with confidence, knowing that the AFOMP Medical Physics Syllabus for postgraduate program will help shape the future of medical physics education and practice across the region.
Sincerely,
Eva Bezak
President, AFOMP
