The IDMP awards are given by IOMP every year since from 2015 to recognize the outstanding contribution of a medical physicist towards Medical Physics with a particular view of promoting education, awareness, development of medical physics to a larger audience and for its overall on patient care. The IDMP awards are awarded on the International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP).
The IDMP Award consists of an IOMP certificate, and additionally a short biography of the awardees will be published in the IOMP Newsletter Medical Physics World.
Following Medical Physicists are awarded IDMP award by IOMP form AFOMP region for their excellent multidimensional contribution towards development of Medical Physics which include education, awareness and clinical practices.
