Meeting Coordinator - American Institute of Physics

WHO WE ARE:

The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) is a scientific and professional organization, founded in 1958, composed of more than 10,000 scientists whose clinical practice is dedicated to ensuring accuracy, safety, and quality in the use of radiation in medical procedures such as medical imaging and radiation therapy.

We are generally known as medical physicists and are uniquely positioned across medical specialties due to our responsibility to connect the physician to the patient through the use of radiation-producing technology in both diagnosing and treating people. The responsibility of the medical physicist is to ensure that the radiation prescribed in imaging and radiation therapy is delivered accurately and safely.

The mission of AAPM is advancing medicine through excellence in the science, education, and professional practice of medical physics; a broad-based scientific and professional discipline that encompasses physical principles with applications in biology and medicine. With members in 92 countries, AAPM supports the Medical Physics community with a focus on advancing patient care.
