- Episode #12 | AAPM Webinar Series on MP3.0 Transformational Medical Physics
Can a consulting physicist practice MP3.0?
Medical Physics 3.0 is sometimes portrayed as an advanced practice only applicable and doable in the context of in-house physics support. However, consulting physics remains a strong component of clinical physics. This webinar demonstrates how MP3.0 can be approached in a consulting settings of both imaging and therapy practices.

- Episode #28 | AAPM Webinar Series on Advances in Medical Physics
Thoughts on the Implementation of AI in Clinical Practice
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the world and will likely transform healthcare. In the past several years, a lot of research has been done in the field of AI in medicine in general, and also, specifically, in radiation oncology. We have seen a lot of exciting research work published, however, very few of these tools have been used in routine clinical practice. In this talk, I will discuss these challenges and present some thoughts and work on potential solutions.

EDI in AAPM: Why Should I Care?
Over the last 2 years, AAPM has ramped up several of our equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) efforts. This webinar will provide a taxonomy and vocabulary for AAPM members who are interested in understanding EDI concepts and desire to be more equitable and inclusive in their daily life and workplace. Also, this webinar will be used to introduce 3 of our new affinity groups, the Black and African American Physicist Subcommittee (SC), the Hispanic and Latin-x Physicist SC and the Sexual and Gender Minority SC.
