Abstract

The TRMP (Texas Regional Medical Physicists) Program formally began in 1968 as an organization of Texas medical physicists with the support of the Regional Medical Program in Texas. TRMP was formed to help its member physicists extend and improve their services to the medical profession. This is accomplished by offering services to the members that they do not have available as individuals and by serving as a means of communication and cooperation between the members. Services provided by the TRMP central office include dosimetry calculations by computer, mailed thermoluminescent dosemeters to check machine output, mailed films to check light localizers, loan of equipment and information services. In addition, a physicist is available for on-site review of dosimetry procedures at a member's institution. The TRMP services are available only to physicists and TRMP employees are not permitted to do private consulting; therefore, there is no interference with established relationships between members and the radiotherapy community.
