A new study published in the Journal of Medical Physics: "Virtual Mentoring for Medical Physicists: Results From an International Pilot Program Between AAPM and SAMP." This innovative pilot, launched in 2022 by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) and the Southeastern AAPM (SAMP), explored how virtual mentoring can bridge gaps for medical physicists worldwide.

The findings? Virtual mentorship works! Early-career physicists reported enhanced professional growth, stronger networks, and increased confidence— all through accessible, online guidance from seasoned experts. This program not only fosters global collaboration but also paves the way for a more connected and supported medical physics community.
