Items of Note

Important notices, upcoming deadlines, and events happening in the Medical Physics community.

• Your voice is powerful and your story matters! Share how recent Executive Orders, directives and workforce downsizing has affected you.
  In light of today’s current political climate, we know these changes are having real effects—both good and bad—on the lives and work of medical physicists. Whether you’ve experienced a positive shift, faced new challenges, or are still navigating the impacts, we need to hear from you (anonymously, if you wish). By sharing your story, you help paint a clearer picture of what these policies mean beyond the headlines. Your experiences can help us advocate more effectively, inform others, and drive positive outcomes for science and healthcare.
