The Educators Resource Guide identifies and provides information on a variety of resources such as curriculum guides, textbooks, online modules, references, and much more that can be used by medical physicists in the development of educational materials for students or to enhance their own professional development as educators.
Resources organized by category of learners (physics graduate students, radiology residents, etc) in specific program areas.
- Physics Education for Medical Physics Students and Residents
- Physics Education for Radiologists, Radiology Residents, and Imaging Technologists
- Physics Education for Users of Fluoroscopic Equipment
- Physics Education for Radiation Oncologists, Oncology Residents, and Therapists
- Public Education
Resources to help medical physicists as educators:
- Community of Medical Physics Educators: Educator Club
- Committee on Medical Physicists as Educators Wiki Page
- View Presentations from the AAPM Teaching Workshop
- Additional Talks on Teaching Theory and Methods
- AAPM Committee on Medical Physicists as Educators Traveling Road Show
General Resources:

P. Sprawls. Medical Physics International Journal, vol.8, No.3, 2020) - Living Physics Portal is a free, NSF-funded, open-access hub—managed by the American Association of Physics Teachers—where instructors share, adapt, and discuss peer-reviewed curricular materials for Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences (IPLS) and related courses. Hundreds of vetted activities, problem sets, labs, course outlines, and assessment tools are available; registering (at no cost) as a verified educator unlocks full downloads with solutions and access to additional user-contributed resources, as well as the ability to contribute materials and join community discussions and events. The brief sign-up requires an academic e-mail, a short profile, e-mail verification, and approval by the portal team to confirm educator status, after which all content and forums become fully accessible.
The Educator’s Resource Guide Working Group manages the content on this site and welcomes your feedback and recommendations for content modifications.
