2013 AAPM Annual Meeting (Indianapolis IN) - Request for Proposals (RFP) for Symposia
Symposia and Educational Courses are an integral and important part of the annual AAPM meeting. A number of scientific symposia, panel discussions, and workshops on various practical and emerging topics provide members with excellent learning opportunities and interesting discussions. Symposia and Educational Courses can be scientific, educational, or professional:
- Therapy Symposium
- Imaging Symposium
- Joint Imaging/Therapy Symposium
- Educational Course
- SAMs Educational Course (click here for specific guidelines for SAMs courses)
Note: If your SAMs proposal is accepted, a submission following the above guidelines will be required at a later time. - Practical Medical Physics Course
- Professional Course
We would like to encourage you to submit ideas for our 2013 Annual Meeting in Indianapolis. To submit an application for a Symposium or Educational Course (including SAMs) click here. Please respond by October 8, 2012.
Proposals should include the following:
- Type of session (see list above)
- Title
- Name of Lead Speaker or Moderator
- Short description (maximum 250 words)
- Learning objectives
- Proposed faculty
Please note your proposal is meant to serve as a suggested topic of interest, along with a recommended list of faculty. All proposals will be reviewed by the AAPM Program Directors, who will be responsible for the final selection of topic, content, organizer, and faculty. Proposal selection will also be based on criteria such as other topics for the 2013 meeting and topics presented in previous years. In short, we must include overall programmatic goals when reviewing proposals. Since there are a limited number of slots to fill, we expect that not all proposals will be accepted.
