But please note! 

Only the mail list is available at this time, not formal membership with MPWB. We are still working a formal membership process for our Canadian and US/International members. Separation of membership types is necessary in order to comply with both US and Canadian not-for-profit status. We hope to resolve these issues shortly. Thanks for your patience!

MPWB is holding an information meeting at the 2016 American Association of Medical Physicists (AAPM) Annual Scientific Meeting in Washington DC:

Date: August 2, Tuesday

Time: 12:15-1:45 PM

Location:  Room 140AB (Level 1), Convention Center

The meeting will provide an update on the status and activities of MPWB. Anyone interested is invited to attend.
