Partners for the Future
New this year! In an effort to open the dialogue between our corporate partners and those individuals training to become medical physicists, we are launching a new program at the upcoming AAPM Annual Meeting - Partners for the Future. Learn more »
AAPM Student Meeting
Medical Billing and Regulations: Everything You Always Wanted to Know, But Were Too Afraid to Ask
Moderators: Anna Rodrigues, Duke University and Jason Stanford, University of Mississippi Medical Center
Why Should We Learn Radiation Oncology Billing?; Terry Wu, Willis-Knighton Cancer Center
Medical Physics Opportunities at the NRC; Maryann Abogunde, Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Sunday, July 12 • 9:30am - 11:00am
Room 210, Anaheim Convention Center
The purpose of this meeting is to address topics that are becoming more relevant to medical physicists, but are not frequently addressed. The talk is divided into two parts – medical billing and regulations. The speakers will delve into how medical billing is shaping the work we do as clinical medical physicists. Further, they will explore how the NRC interacts with clinical medical physicists and how medical physicists can pursue a career outside of the clinic in the NRC, thus continuing one of our subcommittee's goals of promoting non-clinical careers in medical physics. Our distinguished speakers will also be happy to answer general questions from the audience.
