    While it has been some time since the AAPM 2022 conference, we have a few updates to share.

    • We are happy to share that MPWB approved applications from 49 medical physicists from developing countries to virtually attend the AAPM conference in Washington in July. We hope to share some of the supportive comments from these virtual attendees in our next newsletter.
    • Thank you to everyone who visited our physical booth at the AAPM. We had a great many fruitful conversations and will consider adding a booth to future conferences 

    MPWB & IOMP

    The Vice-President of MPWB (Dr Tomas Kron) has been appointed as an official MPWB representative on the Professional Relations Committee of the International Organization for Medical Physics. We thank the IOMP for making this connection in hopes to further reduce barriers to knowledge, expertise, and training and educational resources to global medical physics communities.

    Medical Physics for World Benefit is performing an international survey to investigate whether the Medical Physics community considers virtual mentoring to be of benefit to the community, especially for under-resourced contexts? Questions regarding challenges and successes in the virtual mentoring process will be addressed as a way of optimizing the virtual mentoring experience. All Medical Physicists (clinical, academic, industrial, or governmental) or Medical Physicists in training (graduate students or residents) from both high-income and lower-income countries are invited to participate. The link to the survey can be found here:  https://uwo.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dgtHBEO2gPi2aS9
