Dear colleagues,
As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of AFOMP, it is a moment of pride to reflect on the significant milestones achieved over the past quarter century. This silver jubilee marks not only our collective accomplishments but also the enduring vision of our founding members and the dedication of past officers who have served with distinction. My sincere gratitude to them for laying a strong foundation. As we look ahead, we remain committed to strengthening the bonds of our Federation and working together to bring the medical physics profession to even greater heights in the next decade.
The term of the AFOMP Executive Committee for 2022–2025 is now drawing to a close. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all Executive Committee members, Council members, and our National Member Organizations (NMOs) for their unwavering support and cooperation throughout this period. During my tenure as Secretary-General, our collective efforts have strengthened communication among NMOs. Notable achievements include the establishment of five (5) Terms of Reference, one policy, and one Standard Operating Procedure to guide our operations. We also established the Subcommittee of Early Career Medical Physicists under the Professional Relations Committee, providing an inclusive platform for the next generation. My special thanks go to the President and officers of AFOMP for their invaluable guidance and unwavering support.
The election of AFOMP officers for the 2025–2027 term has recently been completed. We warmly congratulate the newly elected officers and extend our sincere appreciation to all nominees for their willingness to serve the Federation and our professional community. It is encouraging to note that 82% of eligible voters participated, demonstrating the strong engagement of our members.
Looking ahead, I warmly invite all of you to join us at the IUPESM World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering2025, which will be held in conjunction with AOCMP 2025in Adelaide, Australia between 29 September and 4 October. This prestigious event with the theme “Bridging the Gap: Science, Technology, and Clinical Practice for a Sustainable World”promises to deliver an exciting and informative program of scientific sessions, networking opportunities, and cultural experiences. It will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our profession on a truly global stage.
Thank you for your continued dedication and contributions to AFOMP. Together we learn, serve and contribute!
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Aik Hao Ng
Secretary-General, AFOMP
