SU‐A‐BRE‐01: AAPM Medical Physics Student Meeting

Abstract

The purpose of this meeting is to emphasize entrepreneurship and opportunities in industry as a valuable part of our profession, bringing the benefits of new ideas and techniques generated by the basic scientists to the broad patient population. Thinking outside the traditional “clinical Medical Physics box”, there are a variety of ways that individuals can use their medical physics training/experience in entrepreneurial endeavors. Whether as an individual, a small group of medical physicists, or part of an industry (corporate) environment, the speakers will explore how current students and trainees can make a veritable impact to our profession in a non‐clinical setting. Our distinguished speakers will also be happy to answer general questions from the audience.
