American Institute of Physics

The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) is a scientific and professional organization founded in 1958, consisting of over 8000 scientists dedicated to ensuring accuracy, safety, and quality in the use of radiation in medical procedures. As medical physicists, they play a unique role in connecting physicians to patients through the use of radiation-producing technology in both diagnosis and treatment. Their primary goal is to identify and implement improvements in patient safety for the medical use of radiation in imaging and radiation therapy.

The AAPM provides a range of services and resources, including career services, continuing education, and publications, to support the professional development of medical physicists. They also organize meetings and conferences to facilitate knowledge exchange and collaboration among members. With a focus on research and innovation, the AAPM strives to advance the field of medical physics and contribute to the improvement of healthcare outcomes.
