A cost- and revenue-shared model is an implementable solution to establish a sustainable, financially-sound medical physics graduate program allowing for proper long-term planning and consistent growth while assuring high quality...

Hands-on training in absolute dosimetry and beam data acquisition is an important requirement in medical physics education, yet access to linear accelerators and water phantoms is often limited by clinical workload, and resource...

Medical physics patient consults are increasingly used to support patient understanding during radiotherapy and yet there is no consensus in the medical physics community as to what communications methods are most effective. We c...

A persistent challenge in medical physics education is the lack of centralized, interactive, and easily accessible training tools that integrate into daily clinical workflows. Many existing resources are static, fragmented, and d...

Stark global inequities persist in access to radiological health services, with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) bearing an increasing cancer burden while facing critical shortages in trained medical physicists and radiat...

Uncertainty about radiotherapy treatments can cause patients distress, which has been linked to poorer outcomes. During interactions with their nursing team, patients often seek information about the safety of their treatments to...

Structured education in artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly important for medical physicists as AI tools are integrated into clinical practice. To address this need, the AAPM Ad Hoc Advisory Committee on AI Boot...

Traditional MRI education emphasizes physics knowledge, lectures, and artifact recognition, but often does not produce graduates who can function independently in clinical practice. We aim to define core MRI competencies for grad...

For medical physics residents, clinical decision-making can be a difficult skill to teach and master – most residents come from academic graduate programs with limited clinical exposure, and the regulatory nature of radiation onc...

Physicians are educated on radiation safety through fluoroscopy credentialing programs and during residency for select medical specialties. However, exposure to radiation, and the need for foundational safety knowledge, begins mu...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into clinical magnetic resonance imaging workflows, creating new opportunities and responsibilities for medical physicists. This program is designed to prepare medical physi...

National shortages of clinical medical physicists underscore the need for scalable, hands-on learning opportunities. We sought to pilot a structured radiation oncology observership program that enhances clinical knowledge, builds...

To reduce reliance on labor-intensive voxel-wise tumor masks by training CT segmentation models directly from routine radiology and pathology reports, enabling scalable detection and localization of tumors relevant to radiotherap...

This study aims to investigate the develop ultra-high-dose-rate (UHDR) proton FLASH spatially-fractionated-radiation-therapy (FLASH-SFRT) irradiations on a compact proton synchrocyclotron for preclinical experiments.
