AAPM Student Meeting

Beyond Clinical Medical Physics: Entrepreneurship and Opportunities in Industry
Moderators: Anna Rodrigues, Duke University and Jason Stanford, University of Mississippi Medical Center
Speakers: Roberto Pizzutiello, Upstate Medical Physics and Michelle Svatos, Varian Medical Systems
Sunday, July 20 • 9:30am - 11:00am
Ballroom E, Austin Convention Center

The purpose of this meeting is to emphasize entrepreneurship and opportunities in industry as a valuable part of our profession, bringing the benefits of new ideas and techniques generated by the basic scientists to the broad patient population. Thinking outside the traditional “clinical Medical Physics box”, there are a variety of ways that individuals can use their medical physics training/experience in entrepreneurial endeavors. Whether as an individual, a small group of medical physicists, or part of an industry (corporate) environment, the speakers will explore how current students and trainees can make a veritable impact to our profession in a non-clinical setting. Our distinguished speakers will also be happy to answer general questions from the audience. Snacks will be served.
