IOMP is once again promoting activities to raise awareness about the role of medical physicists through the International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP). The 2018 IDMP is scheduled for November 7, the birthdate in 1867 of Marie Sklodowska-Curie. The theme of IDMP 2018 is "Medical Physics for Patient Benefit." This is an excellent opportunity to promote the role of medical physicists. Visit the IOMP website for more information and promotional resources.
