Items of Note

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

• Your voice matters, and your experience is powerful.
  We want to hear how recent Executive Orders, policy directives, and workforce reductions have impacted you.

  In today’s evolving federal scientific policy landscape, these changes are having real and varied effects on medical physicists—some beneficial, others more challenging. Whether you’ve noticed improvements, encountered obstacles, or are still adjusting, your story is important. You can share it anonymously if you prefer.

  By contributing your perspective, you help reveal the true impact of these policies beyond the headlines. Your insights can strengthen our advocacy, educate others, and support meaningful progress in science and healthcare.
