Dear AFOMP Members,
It is my great honor and joy to join you in celebrating the 25th Anniversary (Silver Jubilee) of AFOMP. This milestone is not only a moment to reflect on the visionary leadership and dedication of our founders, but also a reminder of the collective commitment that has carried us through a quarter century of achievements in advancing medical physics across the Asia-Oceania region.
During the past three years, in my role as Chair of the AFOMP Funding Committee, I have witnessed first-hand the devoted efforts and tireless work of all our officers. It has been truly inspiring, and at the same time, it has given me valuable moments of self-reflection.
The Silver Jubilee is a celebration of our shared journey—a testament to collaboration, innovation, and service. AFOMP has grown into a strong and vibrant federation, uniting educators, researchers, clinicians, and industry partners to promote excellence in medical physics. Looking forward, I am confident that AFOMP will continue to thrive as a platform for advancing science, education, and clinical practice in our region.
On this special occasion, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all members, past and present, who have contributed to AFOMP’s growth. May the coming years bring even greater achievements and continued success for our community.
Committee Report:
The Funding Committee is delighted to update you on our activities and achievements since the last report in March 2024.
Launch of the AFOMP Industrial Webinar Series
One of our major initiatives this year has been the establishment of the Terms of Reference (TOR) for the AFOMP Industrial Webinar Series, approved by ExCom in April 2024. The series was designed to:
– Provide a platform for industry experts to share medical physics knowledge,
– Strengthen collaboration between AFOMP and industry,
– Offer our members access to cutting-edge developments.
Each webinar consists of two 30-minute scientific presentations, followed by interactive Q&A. Promotional content is strictly limited to ensure educational value.
We are pleased to share that two successful sessions have already been held:
- Radformation Industrial Webinar – held on November 27, 2024.
