Legal and ethical issues in medical physics
Date:7/18/2008

s medical physicists will be required in 2012 to have clinical training before sitting for board certification. To discuss this new development and other issues of professionalism, a distinguished panel has been assembled comprising a medical physicist with 35 years of experience bridging the gap with doctors and administrators, a trainer of health care professionals who specializes in overcoming barriers to change, a seminar leader and consultant who helped form the "Men's Movement," and the president of a medical physics service company who himself was clinically trained.

Session MO-D-350-1 "Professional Comportment: Professional Is as Professional Does" takes place from 1:30 p.m. to 3:20 p.m. on Monday July 28, 2008 in Room 350. Abstract: http://www.aapm.org/meetings/amos2/pdf/35-9891-9752-691.pdf. Contact: gws@gwsherouse.com

6) THE IMAGE GENTLY™ CAMPAIGN

AAPM is a founding member of the Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Imaging, the organization that launched the Image Gently™ campaign on January 22, 2008. The Campaign has promoted change in individual practices by reassessing CT protocols for children. Visit the campaign website (www.imagegently.org) to see the protocols. The Alliance has grown to 23 organizations this year and its cause was recently recognized by resolution introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on May 20, 2008. Designated "H.RES.1216," the resolution supports "the efforts to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure through computed tomography scans for children, and for other purposes."
