Review Courses
These comprehensive courses provide a good review of medical physics for physicists entering the specialty, physicists in need of continuing education credits, and physicists who would benefit from a refresher taught by experts in the field. Courses will be held concurrently on Saturday.
Two registration options are available, In-Person and On-Demand.
The In-Person registration fee includes:
- Box Lunch and coffee during breaks.
- On-Demand recordings of sessions, posted to meeting platform 24-hours post-session.
- Continued access to On-Demand recordings via the meeting platform (available for 1-year).
The On-Demand registration fee includes:
- Access to On-Demand recordings via the meeting platform (available for 1-year). Recordings of sessions will be posted to meeting platform 24-hours post-session.
The Review Courses will be submitted to the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs, Inc. (CAMPEP) for MPCEC Credits. Review Course Content will not be available in AAPM's Virtual Library.
