- Webinar #3 | AAPM Webinar Series on Spatially Fractionated Radiation Therapy (SFRT): Clinical Significance, Technical Approaches and Challenges
Topic: Advancing SFRT by Preclinical Research planned in conjunction with The Radiosurgery Society (RSS)
Synopsis: SFRT is an unconventional form of radiation therapy that has recaptured the attention of the field in recent years. Mounting evidence from clinical application and preclinical research has shown that SFRT is unequivocally different from conventional radiation therapy and has the potential of very high therapeutic ratio. Despite its potential, especially for patients whose cancers cannot be effectively controlled by conventional therapies, SFRT remains largely unused. This webinar series, planned in conjunction with The Radiosurgery Society (RSS), is intended to be a comprehensive overview of SFRT – the history, current status, the potentials, and the challenges.
Speakers: Sha Chang, Yolanda Prezado, Slavisa Tubin

- Webinar #32 | AAPM Webinar Series on Advances in Medical Physics
Topic: Advances in Cardiac CT and CBCT Imaging
Synopsis: Cardiac CT and CBCT imaging techniques enable imaging hardware to ‘beat’ in sync with the patient, providing a pathway to increase the consistency in image quality between patients, reducing the overall imaging dose received by the patient and facilitating tailored imaging for specific clinical applications. Novel adaptive imaging solutions for applications during thoracic radiotherapy, cardiac radioablation and interventional cardiology and radiology will be discussed, highlighting current status and progress along the clinical translation pathway.

- Webinar #2 | AAPM Webinar Series on Non-Clinical Medical Physics Careers, Resources, Opportunities and Networking
Topic: Navigating Non-Clinical Careers, Returning to the Clinic, and Continuing Certification (MOC)
Synopsis: This second non-clinical focused webinar (in a series of 3) will provide insight regarding professional experiences, road mapping and advancement in a non-clinical physics role, sharing tips for returning to the clinic after holding a non-clinical position and what that transition may look like, and what being a non-clinical physicists means in regards to Maintenance of Certification (MOC). Time will be allotted for Q&A.
Speakers: Jean Moran, Alan Cohen, and Varun Sehgal

- Webinar #1 | AAPM Webinar Series on Global Research Excellence and Rising Stars
Topic: Maximizing your Research Impact by Understanding the Scientific Publication Process
Synopsis: Publishing scientific articles in academic journals is the primary mode of dissemination of a researcher’s work and doing so effectively can be as much art as science. In this webinar from the Scientific Excellence and Global Rising Stars webinar series, we will hear the perspectives of an early career researcher as well as experienced journal editors to understand the process of writing, reviewing, and publishing scientific articles to maximize their impact.
Speakers: John Boone, Marianne Aznar, Qihui Lyu
