IDMP Award of the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP)
The IOMP
The International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) represents about 25,000 medical physicists worldwide, 86 adhering national member organizations and one affiliate. The mission of IOMP is to advance medical physics practice worldwide by disseminating scientific and technical information, fostering the educational and professional development of medical physicists, and promoting the highest quality medical services for patients.
Annually on November 7, the IOMP promotes the International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP) and encourages national and regional organizations to hold scientific programs to recognize the day. The IOMP IDMP award recognizes excellence in Medical Physics with a particular view of promoting medical physics to a larger audience and highlighting the contributions medical physicists make for patient care. The IDMP Award is linked to the International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP) from which it takes its name.
As a member organization, AAPM is requested to submit nominations for the IDMP Award from the North American region. The AAPM Awards and Honors Committee reviews all AAPM-IDMP Award nominations and forwards the top-ranked nomination to the AAPM EXCOM for approval and submission to the IOMP.
