Design and implementation of an AAPM volunteer database for advancing global medical physics initiatives
This report highlights the breadth of expertise and willingness of AAPM members to collaborate and support education across all specialties, contributing to the advancement of global medical physics. While the volunteer data shows significant experience and expertise, targeted recruitment is needed in certain specialized areas. This initiative offers a scalable and sustainable model for global volunteerism in medical physics, complementing traditional in person training and addressing the needs of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
