Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to continue with the tradition of webinars of IOMP School during IMPW 2022 that were started during IMPW 2020. We keep one webinar of 60 minutes duration typically at 12 noon GMT.  We have now started issuing Certificate of Attendance for our webinars and are going to issue CPD/CME points soon as a trial.

Despite the time zone differences, the webinars have been having participants from more than 90 countries including those in extreme time zone in East and West. The number of participants has been increasingly so much that we had to increase our payment to zoom by almost 9 times.

The recorded webinars are made available on IOMP website within a few hours of actual webinar and the visit statistics in encouraging.

As in previous years, we will like different countries and organizations to organize activities during the IMPW 2022.

We have provided possibilities by which you can organize events in your city and country with the objective which are reproduced here:

1. Popularizing the profession among other colleagues in the clinical and non-clinical field as also among public,
2. Promoting medical physics among physics colleagues to let them know how their students can find a career in medical physics
3. To let medical physicists know how they can do better in patient care
You are welcome to choose your theme that best suits you locally

Dear Colleagues,

IOMP celebrates the International Medical Physics Week (IMPW) in May 2022, from Monday 9 to Friday 13. Many of the most exciting scientific developments take place in the border areas between physics and medicine. As in the previous years, IOMP organizes once again a series of webinars during the Week to cover a few of these interdisciplinary activities. All IMPW webinars will be freely available so anyone can register and benefit from the expertise of distinguished speakers.  

The main purpose of the International Medical Physics Week (IMPW) is to motivate organization of activities that will result in the promotion of the subject of medical physics globally.  We strongly encourage all regional and national organizations to organize online and on-site events taking into consideration pandemic restrictions. IMPW is a great opportunity to raise awareness of medical physics, improve public understanding of the role medical physicists play in healthcare, enhance interaction between medical physicists and the society at large and promote active involvement of university professors and students in medical physics related activities.  

We have many reasons to gather and discuss topics of scientific interest. IOMP invites you to participate in the webinars and celebrate the IMPW 2022.

With my best wishes,

Prof. John Damilakis

Vice President, IOMP
