Improving Health Through Medical Physics

WEBSITE EDITOR'S REPORT

George C. Kagadis, PhD | Rion, Greece

AAPM Newsletter — Volume 43 No. 2 — March | April 2018

Our website is under continuous improvement, and you should experience new things and additions every month as this is an ongoing process. This is due to the revamping of our society's website over the last few years. We have put effort into making the webpage cleaner and more easily accessible to our members. Our IS personnel (Farhana Khan, Abby Pardes, Rohan Tapiyawala, Ashley Zhu, Michael Woodward) are continuously working to streamline information as they work to convert the current site to the new look and feel.

We are all getting prepared for the AAPM Annual Meeting, which this year is going to take place in Nashville, TN (July 30 – August 3). The AAPM 60th Annual Meeting & Exhibition website is now up and ready to receive your submissions.

With regard to our Social Media presence, I am pleased to report that as of February 27th, we have 44,237 images posted to AAPM's flickr, 7,234 follows on Facebook, 10,133 members on LinkedIn and 6,517 followers on Twitter. Please, do not hesitate to contact us should you need any further clarification about the policy and the guidelines for posting material on AAPM's social media pages.

Over the last year, most visits to our website have come from the United States (60% of users), followed by China (6% of users), with Canada (3% of users) rounding out the top three. The majority of our site visits are through Windows (67%), and MacOS (11%). During the last few years there has been an increase in the percentage of members accessing our site through mobile devices. The main operating systems are iOS (13%), Android (7%), and Windows (0.07%).

In coming months, we plan to integrate our new association management software into the website. Please excuse our dust as some pages will need to go offline for a short time while we make these changes. I hope you find the AAPM website useful, visit it often, and send me your feedback directly.
