Activities
The Medical Physics Leadership Academy (MPLA) Committee oversees and organizes the MPLA, a leadership and business knowledge and skill development program specific to medical physicists. AAPM members are leaders and are able to realize and fulfill their personal potential by relating with others in ways that provide meaning, value, and structure to make a difference. MPLA specifically educates its participants through didactic, coaching, and questioning modes of instruction. Specific activities may include but are not limited to:
  • Design and implementation of an ongoing MPLA program.
  • Develop and review MPLA core and complementary curriculum covering topics of business administration and leadership development.
  • Review and if necessary develop needed MPLA resources.
  • Collate MPLA-related resources through an MPLA website.
  • Develop and employ participant progress assessment of participation in the MPLA program.
  • Provide MPLA content using face-to-face sessions at AAPM meetings and examine other digital modes of material delivery.
  • Develop a participant community for shared learning and connection. 
  • Market and publicize MPLA to the AAPM community.
